Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.

In English

It is not possible to see Me as you have done through studying the scriptures, performing austerities, giving gifts, or making sacrifices.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

Neither by the Vedas, nor by austerity, nor by gift, nor by sacrifice can I be seen in this form as thou hast seen Me so easily.

Translated by Swami Sivananda
