Brahma-stuti, Verse 7:  Everything is Measurable Except for Sri Krishna

ŚB 10.14.7

गुणात्मनस्तेऽपि गुणान् विमातुं

हितावतीर्णस्य क ईशिरेऽस्य ।

कालेन यैर्वा विमिता: सुकल्पै-

र्भूपांशव: खे मिहिका द्युभास: ॥ ७ ॥

guṇātmanas te ’pi guṇān vimātuṁ

hitāvatīṛnasya ka īśire ’sya

kālena yair vā vimitāḥ su-kalpair

bhū-pāṁśavaḥ khe mihikā dyu-bhāsaḥ

Translation

In time, learned philosophers or scientists might be able to count all the atoms of the earth, the particles of snow, or perhaps even the shining molecules radiating from the sun, the stars and other luminaries. But among these learned men, who could possibly count the unlimited transcendental qualities possessed by You, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who have descended onto the surface of the earth for the benefit of all living entities?
