yāvat buddhira gati, tateka varṇiluṅ
samudrera madhye yena eka kaṇa chuṅiluṅ

 yāvat - as far; buddhira gati - the limit of my intelligence; tateka - that far; varṇiluṅ - I have described; samudrera madhye - in the midst of the great ocean; yena - just like; eka kaṇa - one particle; chuṅiluṅ - I have touched.

I have tried to describe them as far as my intelligence allows, as if trying to touch a drop in the midst of a great ocean.
