Chaupai Text

मन समेत जेहि जान न बानी। तरकि न सकहिं सकल अनुमानी॥ महिमा निगमु नेति कहि कहई। जो तिहुँ काल एकरस रहई॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

mana sameta jehi jāna na bānī। tarki na sakahiṃ sakala anumānī॥ mahimā nigamu neti kahi kahī। jo tihuṃ kāla ekarasa rahī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Neither mind nor speech can know Him, and all can only infer Him. No argument can encompass Him; the Vedas describe His greatness only by saying, “not this, not this.” He remains one and the same through all three times.
