Verse 6.34.21

एषा दृक्चेत्यवलनादनामार्थापदं गता ।
ब्रह्मात्मेत्यादिशब्दार्थादतीतोदेति केवला ॥ २१ ॥

eṣā dṛkcetyavalanādanāmārthāpadaṃ gatā |
brahmātmetyādiśabdārthādatītodeti kevalā || 21 ||

This sight of intellect is without a name, because it contains like the Divine Intellect all the thinkables (or objects of thought) within its ample sphere, as the great ocean of the world, grasps all parts of the globe within its spacious circumference. It extends beyond the meaning of the word Brahmatma or the ample spirit of the god Brahma in its extension ad infinitum.
