Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
This (universe) existed in the shape of Darkness, unperceived, destitute of distinctive marks, unattainable by reasoning, unknowable, wholly immersed, as it were, in deep sleep.
Translated by Georg Bühler
