अव्यक्तं व्यक्तिमापन्नं मन्यन्ते मामबुद्धयः | परं भावमजानन्तो ममाव्ययमनुत्तमम्
avyaktaṃ vyaktimāpannaṃ manyante māmabuddhayaḥ . paraṃ bhāvamajānanto mamāvyayamanuttamam
愚昧之人,不明我那不朽且無上之至高本性,竟以為我這無形者已顯現為有形。
The unintelligent, unaware of My supreme state which is immutable and unsurpassable, think of Me as the unmanifest that has become manifest.
無知者將主「Krishna」(克里希那)視為凡夫俗子。他們認為祂因前世「Karma」(業力)之故,從無形狀態顯現為如同常人般的肉身。他們對祂作為至高「Atman」(真我)那更高層次、不朽且自發光明的本性一無所知。他們以為祂只是剛剛顯現,儘管祂是自存、永恆、無始、無終、無生、無死、不變、無限且無形的。
The ignorant take Lord Krishna as a common mortal. They think that He has taken a body like ordinary human beings from the unmanifested state on account of the force of Karma of the previous birth. They have no knowledge of His higher? imperishable and selfluminous nature as the Highest Self. They think that He has just now come into manifestation? though He is selfexistent? eternal? beginningless? endless? birthless? deathless? changeless? infinite and unmanifest.
