The thirteen / Śvetāśvatara Upanishad / Adhyāya 3

ŚVETĀŚVATARA UPANISHAD · 3.19

अपाणिपादो जवनो ग्रहीता पश्यत्य् अचक्षुः स शृणोत्य् अकर्णः ।
स वेत्ति वेद्यं न च तस्यास्ति वेत्ता तम् आहुर् अग्र्यं पुरुषं महान्तम् ॥

apāṇipādo javano grahītā paśyaty acakṣuḥ sa śṛṇoty akarṇaḥ ।
sa vetti vedyaṃ na ca tasyāsti vettā tam āhur agryaṃ puruṣaṃ mahāntam ॥

Grasping without hands, hasting without feet, he sees without eyes, he hears without ears. He knows what can be known, but no one knows him; they call him the first, the great person (purusha).

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 15 (1884)
