VIVEKACUDAMANI
Of undemonstrable nature, beyond mind and speech, Brahman is one only, not dual. There is no manifold here.
Because it is beyond mind and speech, hence of undemonstrable nature. It is to be known only by realisation. Later on through the pupil, it is said: vācā vaktum aśakyameva manasā mantum: "Impossible to be spoken by words or to be thought of by the mind."

सत् समृद्धं स्वतस्सिद्धं शुद्धं बुद्धमनीदृशम् ।
एकमेवाद्वयं ब्रह्म नेह नानास्ति किंचन ।। ४७१॥
sat samṛddham svatassiddham śuddham buddhamanīdṛśam | ekamevādvayam brahma neha nānāsti kiñcana ||
Of plenary existence, infinitely blissful, self-subsistent, pure, of the nature of jñāna, without compare, Brahman is one only, not dual. There is no manifold here.
sat: abadhyam: uncontradicted.
samṛddham: of the nature of infinite bliss.
svatassiddham: self-subsistent as it is the cause of all canons
of proof.
śuddham: untouched by any defect.
buddham: of the nature of jñāna.
anidṛśam: 'seen like this' is idṛśam. Not idṛśam is anidṛśam, i.e., incomparable.
As the endeavour is to convey to the mind the subtle purport of śruti, the repetition of the same idea here is not a defect.
