श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
रूपं राघव नीरूपमसतश्चेन्निरूप्यते ।
तद्वन्ध्यातनयाकारगुणांस्त्वं समुदाहर ॥ ६ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
rūpaṃ rāghava nīrūpamasataścennirūpyate |
tadvandhyātanayākāraguṇāṃstvaṃ samudāhara || 6 ||

Vasishtha said:—All form, O Rama, is formless and accidental quality, and no essential property of things. So if you would ascertain the nature of a nullity, then tell me the shape and qualities of a barren woman's son.
