Verse 7.137.57

यावद्रूपं तुरीयस्य किंचनापि न लभ्यते ।
सम्यग्बोधादृते शुद्धात्प्रकाशस्तमसो यथा ॥ ५७ ॥

yāvadrūpaṃ turīyasya kiṃcanāpi na labhyate |
samyagbodhādṛte śuddhātprakāśastamaso yathā || 57 ||

I tried my utmost, but could get no indication of its true form and feature: and found out at last, that it was not to be had without our clear-sightedness, as the sunlight is imperceptible to the dimsighted eye.
