8.12.9
anye 'vayanti navaśaktiyutaṃ paraṃ tvāṃ % kecin mahāpuruṣamavyayamātmatantram //
others understand you as the Supreme endowed with the nine powers; / some as the great Person, imperishable and self-dependent.
8.12.9.p2
nāhaṃ parāyurṛṣayo na marīcimukhyā $ jānanti yadviracitaṃ khalu sattvasargāḥ &
Neither I, nor he who lives for a cosmic lifespan [Brahmā], nor the ṛṣis headed by Marīci, / though born of purity, know what has indeed been fashioned by you.
10. Neither I nor Brahma of the longest life, nor Marichi and others forming the Satwa creation, comprehend the Universe created by Thee, O supreme Ruler. How could then the Daityas, human beings and others, always active in the wrong direction, (under the influence of Rajas and Tamas) and whose understanding is deluded by Thy Maya, comprehend (Thy creation or Thee)?
8.12.9.p3
nāhaṃ parāyurṛṣayo na marīcimukhyā $ jānanti yadviracitaṃ khalu sattvasargāḥ &
Neither I, nor he who lives for a cosmic lifespan [Brahmā], nor the ṛṣis headed by Marīci, / though born of purity, know what has indeed been fashioned by you.
