Verse 5.57.27

सर्वं प्रशान्तमजमेकमनादिमध्यमाभास्वरं स्वदनमात्रमचेत्यचिह्नम् ।
सर्वं प्रशान्तमिति शब्दमयी तु दृष्टिर्बोधार्थमेव हि मुधैव तदोमितीदम् ॥ २७ ॥

sarvaṃ praśāntamajamekamanādimadhyamābhāsvaraṃ svadanamātramacetyacihnam |
sarvaṃ praśāntamiti śabdamayī tu dṛṣṭirbodhārthameva hi mudhaiva tadomitīdam || 27 ||

Know the all quiescent, and the unborn One, who is without beginning, middle and end; who is self manifest and felicity itself; and who is inconceivable and beyond all assignable property or quality. He is all quiescent, and all verbal and ocular indications of him are entirely false. Yet for the sake of our comprehension, he is represented as the Holy one, on or om.
