Verse 7.33.31

चिद्रूपमजमव्यक्तमेकमव्ययमीश्वरः ।
स्वत्वभावत्वरहितं ब्रह्म शान्तात्मखादपि ॥ ३१ ॥

cidrūpamajamavyaktamekamavyayamīśvaraḥ |
svatvabhāvatvarahitaṃ brahma śāntātmakhādapi || 31 ||

There is one thing alone of the form of the intellect, which is unborn and unknown (in its true nature), and is the undecaying (i.e. everlasting) lord of all; it is devoid of substance and property, and is called Brahma or immensity, and tranquil spirit, which is as quiet and calm as the infinite void, are rarer than even the empty atmosphere.
