You are the One Who pervades the entire Universe; And Whose Form is the Universe Itself (Vishwarupa),

Meaning:
Neither by Earth (Bhumi), nor by Water (Apah), neither by Fire (Vahni) nor by Wind (Vayu), …
… neither also by Space is His presence limited; Similarly neither by Lassitude (Tandra) nor by Sleep (Nidra) (can He be realized),
Neither by Summer (Grishma), nor by Winter (Shita) (is He constrained); Similarly neither by Place (Desha) nor by Dress (Vesha) (can He be restrained),
And nor of Whom there is an (exclusive) Image (Murti); I Extol that Trimurti (the Cosmic presence behind Creation, Sustenance and Dissolution).
Then Who is He? The next verse tells about that.
