Sanskrit Original
सत्यस्य ते स्वदृश आत्मन आत्मनोऽन्यं वक्तारमीश विबुधेष्वपि नानुचक्षे । सर्वे विमोहितधियस्तव माययेमे ब्रह्मादयस्तनुभृतो बहिरर्थभावा: ॥ १७ ॥
satyasya te sva-dṛśa ātmana ātmano ’nyaṁ vaktāram īśa vibudheṣv api nānucakṣe sarve vimohita-dhiyas tava māyayeme brahmādayas tanu-bhṛto bahir-artha-bhāvāḥ
My dear Lord, You are the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and You reveal Yourself to Your devotees. Besides Your Lordship, I do not see anyone who can actually explain perfect knowledge to me. Such a perfect teacher is not to be found even among the demigods in heaven. Indeed, all of the demigods, headed by Lord Brahmā, are bewildered by Your illusory potency. They are conditioned souls who accept their own material bodies and bodily expansions to be the highest truth.
