शब्दसंवेदनाच्छब्दः शब्दस्य भ्रान्तिदर्शनम् ।
ततोऽत्र शब्दशब्दार्थदृष्टेर्दूरतरं गतः ॥ ७ ॥

śabdasaṃvedanācchabdaḥ śabdasya bhrāntidarśanam |
tato'tra śabdaśabdārthadṛṣṭerdūrataraṃ gataḥ || 7 ||

This minim is said to be sound (or the words), but it is error to say it so: because it is far beyond the reach of sound or the sense of words. (So the Sruti 'natatravakgacchati', no word (vox or voice) can reach unto him—express his nature.
