अप्रतर्क्यमविज्ञेयं यच्छिवं शान्तमव्ययम् ।
तत्कथं कस्य केनैव कर्तृ भोक्तृ कदा भवेत् ॥ १५ ॥

apratarkyamavijñeyaṃ yacchivaṃ śāntamavyayam |
tatkathaṃ kasya kenaiva kartṛ bhoktṛ kadā bhavet || 15 ||

He that is inconceivable and unknowable, is perfect felicity, tranquillity and ever undecaying, and can never be the active or passive agent of anything, on account of the immutability of his nature.
