Persons with intelligence bewildered by deceptive sense perception cannot know you who are situated in their senses, life airs and hearts. Persons whose intelligence is covered by māyā cannot even know you when you appear as an avatāra within their vision. Even Brahmā who obtained the Vedas from you, the guru of all beings, cannot know you. This verse explained that the Lord is difficult to realize. A person with bewildered intelligence caused by deceptive sense perception (vitathākṣa-pathaih) does not know the Lord situated as the controller in the heart, in the life air and the senses. The person whose intelligence is covered by māyā does not know you, who are present visibly (dik-patheṣu) now as avatāra. What to speak of others, even Brahmā (ādyaḥ), though he obtained the Vedas from you, who are the guru of all beings, does not know you.
