Devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah, parasparam bhavayantah shreyah param avapsyatha

- •Life is sustained by mutual nourishment and giving
- •The divine and human realms are interdependent

Na me viduh sura-ganah prabhavam na maharshayah, aham adir hi devanam maharshiphinam ca sarvasha
Neither the hosts of gods nor the great sages know My origin or opulences, for in every respect I am the source of the gods and the great sages. Even the most exalted beings — gods and sages — cannot fully comprehend the infinite nature and origin of the Supreme Lord.
- •The Supreme transcends the comprehension of even gods and sages
- •God is the source of all exalted beings and cannot be known by them fully
- •Humility before the infinite is the mark of true wisdom
