1.8.19

māyājavanikācchannam ajñādhokṣajam avyayam /
na lakṣyase mūḍhadṛśā naṭo nāṭyadharo yathā //

19. I, an ignorant woman, worship Thee who art concealed behind the screen of Maya and art undecaying and beyond the reach of the grosser vision; Thou canst not be realised by the clouded reason of the ignorant man, by one that has attachment to the mortal frame, just as an actor who plays a part cannot be.
