LalithA SahasranAma [814] amUrtA

[Guest guest]

She is beyond form and attributes.

 

All reality is either perceptible to the senses or beyond the

senses. That part which is perceptible is murtA; that which is

beyond the senses is amUrtA.

 

"dvE eva brahmano rUpam mUrtam ca amUrtam ca: She is both murtA and

amurtA." (Brh. Up. 2-3-1)
