न हि वर्णविभेदेन देहभेदेन वा भवेत् । परत्वम् निष्कलत्वेन सकलत्वे न तद्भवेत् ॥ ६ ॥
sanskrit
Paratva, or transcendence, cannot exist in the divisions of varna (colour), shabda (sound) or roopa (form). If transcendence is indivisible, then it cannot be defined or co- exist with composite parts.

sanskrit
O Devi, the sakara aspect of Bhairava is insubstantial and of no spiritual value, like the illusory dream-like web of Indra, and is also like the delusion of celestial musicians.
