# Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 8 Text 30

**[Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 1 Chapter 8 Text 30](http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/8/30)**

 

*
janma karma ca viśvātmann
ajasyākartur ātmanaḥ
tiryaṅ-nṝṣiṣu yādaḥsu
tad atyanta-viḍambanam
* 

TRANSLATION
Of course it is bewildering, O soul of the universe, that You work, though You are inactive, and that You take birth, though You are the vital force and the unborn. You Yourself descend amongst animals, men, sages and aquatics. Verily, this is bewildering.
