Agun sagun dui brahm sarupa

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 23 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

अगुन सगुन दुइ ब्रह्म सरूपा। अकथ अगाध अनादि अनूपा॥ मोरें मत बड़ नामु दुहू तें। किए जेहिं जुग निज बस निज बूतें॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

aguna saguna dui brahma sarūpā। akatha agādha anādi anūpā॥ moren mata baṛa nāmu duhū teṃ। kie jehim nija basa nija būteṃ॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

The निर्गुण and सगुण are two forms of Brahma. Both are indescribable, unfathomable, beginningless, and incomparable. In my view, the Name is greater than both, for it has brought both under its own control by its power.

Context

This is Chaupai 1, Under Doha 23 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Glory of Rama's Name”. The episode describes the supreme glory of Rama's name as the most accessible refuge in Kali Yuga.
