ज्ञेयाभावे त्वनिर्वाच्या शिष्यते शाश्वतं शिवम् ।
अशरीराद्यविश्वात्म सर्वं शान्तमिदं ततम् ॥ ४१ ॥

jñeyābhāve tvanirvācyā śiṣyate śāśvataṃ śivam |
aśarīrādyaviśvātma sarvaṃ śāntamidaṃ tatam || 41 ||

For want of the knowables or objects of objective knowledge, there remains the only unknowable One, who is of the form of everlasting felicity; and this soul of the incorporeal spirit, is extended all over the infinite space in its form of perfect tranquillity.
