IdR^igityavinirdeshyA She who cannot be defined to have such and such qualities. The word "IdR^igiti" means having this measure, this form, this sign and so on. That defines the qualities. SHE cannot be defined like that. Often these qualities are defined using sense perceptions. SHE is beyond them. "yachchakShuSha na pashyati" which means what the eyes sees not [kenopaniShad 1-6]. Since SHE is beyond all sense perceptions, SHE cannot be defined as having this form, this shape and these qualities. Upanishads which are part of vedas reveal the nature of the unkown. They seek no other proof and they are self-authoritative. According to the upaniShadic school, SHE cannot be defined as such and such. To define HER as such and such, would be a mere translation of sense perceptions and such a description cannot be self-authoritative.
