Glory to you, the unimagined,

boundless & perfect wisdom

whose body is free of all flaws,

stainless to those who see you.


comment: The term unimagined is nirvikalpa which also means non-conceptual, formless, changeless, not admitting of any variations, etc. See the heart sutra. ''Boundless'' is, here, amit, which also means infinite, endless, etc. ''Perfect wisdom'', of course, is prajnaparamita. ''Stainless'' is niravadya.
