Verse 7.129.27

ब्रह्मैवानन्तरूपेयमविद्या तन्मयी यतः ।
अतोऽस्ति साऽपरिज्ञाता परिज्ञाता न विद्यते ॥ २७ ॥

brahmaivānantarūpeyamavidyā tanmayī yataḥ |
ato'sti sā'parijñātā parijñātā na vidyate || 27 ||

But this avidya or ignorance being coalescent with Brahma, is as infinite as the Deity himself; and there she is as unknowable as God, as yet nobody has been able to know her nature.
