पृथ्व्यादिकलनाभावादेष विप्रो न रूपवान् ।
दृढरज्ज्वेव गगनं ग्रहीतुं नैव युज्यते ॥ ३३ ॥

pṛthvyādikalanābhāvādeṣa vipro na rūpavān |
dṛḍharajjveva gaganaṃ grahītuṃ naiva yujyate || 33 ||

This Brahman is a formless being, by reason of his disowning the material body. Hence it is as hard for thee to enthral him, as to entwine the air with a rope.
