Verse 7.216.26

ब्रह्मानन्दं परमसुखदं केवलं ज्ञानमूर्तिं द्वन्द्वातीतं गगनसदृशं तत्त्वमस्यादिलक्ष्यम् ।
एकं नित्यं विमलमचलं सर्वधीसाक्षिभूतं भावातीतं त्रिगुणरहितं श्रीवसिष्ठं नताःस्मः ॥ २६ ॥

brahmānandaṃ paramasukhadaṃ kevalaṃ jñānamūrtiṃ dvandvātītaṃ gaganasadṛśaṃ tattvamasyādilakṣyam |
ekaṃ nityaṃ vimalamacalaṃ sarvadhīsākṣibhūtaṃ bhāvātītaṃ triguṇarahitaṃ śrīvasiṣṭhaṃ natāḥsmaḥ || 26 ||

I bow down also to the sage Vasishtha, who is of the form of incarnate knowledge alone, and who is immerged in the joyous bliss of divine felicity; who is beyond all duality and sees the only One in the unity of infinite vacuity. Who is ever alike the pure and immaculate One, and witnesseth the inmost of all minds; who is beyond all states and conditions (of so and so or of such and such); and who is quite devoid of the three qualities (which belong to all bodies) i.e. There is no known quality or property that can be predicated to the Deity. The qualities of the unknown One, as unknown, peculiar and unique as own nature.
