viśvasya yaḥ sthiti-layodbhava-hetur ādyo yogeśvarair api duratyaya-yogamāyaḥ kṣemaṁ vidhāsyati sa no bhagavāṁs tryadhīśas tatrāsmadīya-vimṛśena kiyān ihārthaḥ

Translation

My dear sons, the Lord is the controller of the three modes of nature and is responsible for the creation, preservation and dissolution of the universe. His wonderful creative power, yogamāyā, cannot be easily understood even by the masters of yoga. That most ancient person, the Personality of Godhead, will alone come to our rescue. What purpose can we serve on His behalf by deliberating on the subject?
