नाहं वेदैर्न तपसा न दानेन न चेज्यया ।
शक्य एवंविधो द्रष्टुं दृष्टवानसि मां यथा ॥११- ५३॥

Transliteration

naahaM wedairna tapasaa na daanena na chejyayaa ।

shakya ewaMwidho draShTuM dRRiShTawaanasi maaM yathaa ॥११- ५३॥

Translation

Not by [studying] the Vedas, nor austerity, nor charity, and not by worship
Is it possible so to see this kind of vision of me.

Translation

Neither by study of the Vedas, nor by austerity, nor by charity, nor by ritual, can I be seen in this form as you have seen Me.

Translation

The form which you are seeing with your transcendental eyes cannot be understood simply by studying the Vedas, nor by undergoing serious penances, nor by charity, nor by worship. It is not by these means that one can see Me as I am.
