अपाणिपादो जवनो ग्रहीता पश्यत्य् अचक्षुः स शृणोत्य् अकर्णः । स वेत्ति वेद्यं न च तस्यास्ति वेत्ता तम् आहुर् अग्र्यं पुरुषं महान्तम्

apāṇipādo javano grahītā paśyaty acakṣuḥ sa śṛṇoty akarṇaḥ / sa vetti vedyaṃ na ca tasyāsti vettā tam āhur agryaṃ puruṣaṃ mahāntam

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Grasping without hands, hasting without feet, he sees without eyes, he hears without ears. He knows what can be known, but no one knows him; they call him the first, the great person (purusha).

Translated by F. Max MüllerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
