[Advaita-l] Muchukunda's stuti SB 10.51 nirguna, jnanaghana, advaya...

[V Subrahmanian]

Muchukunda prays to Lord Krishna through a stuti: SB 10.51   nirguna,
jnanaghana, advaya...

Bhagavatam:

श्रीमद्भागवतपुराणम्/स्कन्धः १०/उत्तरार्धः/अध्यायः ५१
https://sa.wikisource.org/s/ipc

निरञ्जनं निर्गुणमद्वयं परं त्वां ज्ञाप्तिमात्रं पुरुषं व्रजाम्यहम् | ५६।

Therefore, O Lord, having put aside all objects of material desire, which
are bound to the modes of passion, ignorance and goodness, I am approaching
You, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for shelter. You are not covered
by mundane designations; rather, You are the Supreme Absolute Truth, full
in pure knowledge and transcendental to the material modes.

The Advaitic purport of the epithets used is brought out by Sridhara Swamin
in the commentary:

Brahman is Pure Consciousness. This is because it is stainless. This is due
to it being nirgunam {free of attributes.)  Attributes can accrue to it
through anything external to it.  Since it is Advayam,
one-only-without-a-second, there can't be any attributes to it in the form
of jAti, guNa, kriyA and sambandha.
