Chhapai meter. By Your Grace.

He has no mark, symbol, caste, or lineage; none can describe His form, color, or outline.

He is the immovable, unfathomable, and infinite manifestation, to be counted as lord of millions of Indras and emperors.

He is the Primordial Form, the Beginningless Embodiment, the Unborn, the Infinite Being; the All-Honored, the Threefold God, the Incomprehensible, the Primordial, the Generous; the Nourisher of all, the Destroyer of all, the Time of all; present everywhere in the form of a detached ascetic.

He has no name, place, caste, form, color, or outline; the Primal Being, the Generous Form, the Unborn, the Infinite, without limit; no country, disguise, form, outline, or passion; He pervades everywhere in all directions with love.

He is without name and desire, seen nowhere, yet honored everywhere; one form manifesting in many forms, playing the unplayable play, and in the end becoming one again.

Gods and seers do not know Him, nor the Vedas or other scriptures; no one knows His form, color, caste, or lineage.

He has no father, mother, birth, or death; He revolves around the four-disc universe and the three worlds.

The fourteen worlds chant His name; the Primal God, the Beginningless Form, established everything.

He is the Supreme Form, the Holy Embodiment, the Perfect Infinite Being; He created the entire universe, the Self-Existent, Creator and Destroyer.

He is beyond time, endowed with powers, the Timeless Being, without location; the Abode of rightness, free from delusion, the Unborn, the Unseen, the Unclad.

He has no limb, passion, color, caste, lineage, or name; the Crusher of pride, the Destroyer of the wicked, the Giver of liberation.

He is the Self-Form, the Unfathomable, the Unpraised, the Single Detached Being; the Crusher of pride, the Destroyer of all, the Primordial Form, the Unstable; without limbs, indestructible, the Non-Self, the Single Infinite Being; fit for all, Destroyer of all, Nourisher of all.

He is the All-Goer, the All-Destroyer, the Incomprehensible to all; all scriptures do not know His form, color, or outline; the Supreme Vedas and Puranas always say 'Not this' of Him; millions of Smritis, Puranas, and Shastras cannot grasp Him in the mind.
