Translation

Whosoever meditates on the Omniscient, the Ancient, the Ruler of the whole world, minuter than an atom, the supporter of all, of inconceivable form, effulgent like the sun and beyond the darkness of ignorance.

Hindi translation

जो सर्वज्ञ, पुराण, शासन करनेवाला, सूक्ष्म-से-सूक्ष्म, सबका धारण-पोषण करनेवाला, अज्ञानसे अत्यन्त परे, सूर्यकी तरह प्रकाशस्वरूप -- ऐसे अचिन्त्य स्वरूपका चिन्तन करता है।
