Verse 6.128.37

अद्वितीयं परं ज्योतिर्ब्रह्मास्म्यानन्दमव्ययम् ।
एवमादिगुणैर्युक्तं सत्त्वादिगुणवर्जितम् ॥ ३७ ॥

advitīyaṃ paraṃ jyotirbrahmāsmyānandamavyayam |
evamādiguṇairyuktaṃ sattvādiguṇavarjitam || 37 ||

I am that blissful Brahma, who is without a second and without decay, and of the form of pure light; who is expressed by these negative properties, and is beyond the three degrees of quality; as the satva, rajas and tamas—the positive, comparative, and superlative, which do not relate to him as they do to others.
