संदर्भ में पढ़ेंkinds of Brahman: Saguṇa Brahman (Brahman enmeshed in the modes of material nature), and Nirguṇa Brahman (Brahman untouched by the modes of material nature). The first, or Saguṇa Brahman, has a form constructed of the mode of material goodness. This Saguṇa Brahman is the omnisicent, all-powerful creator of the material universes. The second, or Nirguṇa Brahman, is pure transcendental existence only. This Nirguṇa Brahman is pure, perfect, and complete.

Everything rests upon me as pearls strung on a thread."* Thus the Vedic literatures describe only one kind of Brahman: Nirguṇa Brahman. Śrīla Vyāsadeva describes this Nirguṇa Brahman in the next sūtra:
