वचस्युपरते ऽप्राप्य य एको मनसा सह ।
अनामरूपश्चिन्मात्रः सो ऽव्यान्नः सदसत्परः ॥ २१ ॥

vacasy uparate 'prapya

ya eko manasa saha

anama-rūpas cin-matraḥ

so 'vyan naḥ sad-asat-paraḥ

vacasi-when the words; uparate-cease; aprapya-not achieving the goal; yaḥ-He who; ekaḥ-one without a second; manasa-the mind; saha-with; anama-with no material name; rūpaḥ-or material form; cit-matraḥ-totally spiritual; saḥ-He; avyat-may kindly protect; naḥ-us; sat-asat-paraḥ-who is the cause of all causes (the supreme cause).

TRANSLATION

The words and mind of the conditioned soul cannot approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for material names and forms are not applicable to the Lord, who is entirely spiritual, beyond the conception of gross and subtle forms. The impersonal Brahman is another of His forms. May He, by His pleasure, protect us.

PURPORT

The impersonal Brahman, which is the effulgence of the Lord, is described in this verse.
