Here is a verse where the negations are carried to their limit: soundless, untouchable, formless, tasteless, scentless, without name and lineage. This is a description through the five senses: everything by which anything is perceived is taken away. And here it is worth noting what, I think, this verse stands in this book for.
After all the negations it is said: mama rūpam īdṛśam, «such is My form». That is, the formless is called a form, and moreover Mine. And further: bhajasva nityam, «worship it always», from the root bhaj, of which it was spoken at Varāha (4.20): it means not «contemplate» and not «know», but «serve, be devoted».
Gathering this: the nameless is called Mine, and it is commanded to be served. The Vaishnava side points to such places as decisive, and its argument is brief. One serves someone, not something; and the possessive «Mine» presupposes the one to whom it belongs.
That is, the list of negations here is a negation of a material form, not of form as such; and of the suffix rūpin, denoting possession rather than identity, it was spoken at Hayagrīva (1.1). Add the last word of the verse: ārti-han, «remover of sorrow», addressed to Hanumān. In a verse where everything sensory has been taken away, the address remains — and remains tender.
