Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 16

Sanskrit:

श्रीमुनय ऊचु:यन्मायया तत्त्वविदुत्तमा वयंविमोहिता विश्वसृजामधीश्वरा: ।यदीशितव्यायति गूढ ईहयाअहो विचित्रं भगवद्विचेष्टितम् ॥ १६ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-munaya ūcuḥyan-māyayā tattva-vid-uttamā vayaṁvimohitā viśva-sṛjām adhīśvarāḥyad īśitavyāyati gūḍha īhayāaho vicitram bhagavad-viceṣṭitam

Translation:

The great sages said: Your power of illusion has totally bewildered us, the most exalted knowers of the truth and leaders among the universal creators. Ah, how amazing is the behavior of the Supreme Lord! He covers Himself with His humanlike activities and pretends to be subject to superior control.

Purport:

The sages have characterized the Lord’s statements as inscrutable (duranvayam). How this is so is stated here: His words and activities bewilder even the most learned when He plays at subordinating Himself to His own servants.
