Verse 2.4.174

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.4.174:

य सान्द्र-सच्-चिद्-आनन्द-विलासाभ्युदयात्मिका ।
नित्या सत्याप्य् अनाद्य्-अन्ता यानिर्वच्या स्वरूपतः ॥ १७४ ॥

ya sāndra-sac-cid-ānanda-vilāsābhyudayātmikā |
nityā satyāpy anādy-antā yānirvacyā svarūpataḥ || 174 ||

yā–who; sāndra–condensed; sat-cit-ānanda–eternality, cognizance, and bliss; vilāsa–pastimes; abhyudaya–manifests; ātmikā–whose self; nityā–eternal; satyā–real; api–also; anādī-antā–without beginning or end; yā–who; anirvācyā–beyond description; svarūpataḥ–by her constitutional nature.

This śakti of Śrī Bhagavān, which is the concentrated essence of eternality (sat), cognizance (cit), and pleasure (ānanda), manifests the glorious opulence of the Lord’s pastimes. She has no beginning and no end, and she is beyond description, being eternal, absolutely real, and unlimited.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Śrī Nārada says, “It is this śakti that makes Bhagavān’s transcendental pastimes brilliantly attractive. Their grandeur is this potency’s very nature. She is eternal, real, beginningless, unlimited, and indescribable. Being the mahā-śakti of Bhagavān, who is the Supreme Brahman, she cannot be perceived by logic and reason, and therefore no one can elucidate the truth of her nature.”
