Translations

English Translation

This shloka conveys that true divinity, represented by the Lord, remains unseen even through intense penance. Those worthy may witness Him directly, adorned with divine attributes, but the majority do not perceive Him despite their efforts.

हिंदी अनुवाद

यह श्लोक यह बताता है कि सच्ची दिव्यता, जो भगवान के रूप में प्रकट होती है, तीव्र तपस्या के बावजूद अदृश्य रह सकती है। जो लोग इसके योग्य होते हैं, वे उसे सीधे देख सकते हैं, किंतु अधिकांश लोग अपनी प्रयासों के बावजूद उसे नहीं देख पाते।
