Gunaateetam Param Brahm Vyaapakam Braj Uchyate - Skand Purana (2.6.1.20)

Gunateetam Param Brahm Vyapakam Braj Uchyate.
Sadanandam Param Jyoti Muktanaam Padavyayam.

- Skand Purana (2.6.1.20)

The Para Brahma, that is beyond the three qualities of satva (purity, goodness), raja (activity, passion) and tama (darkness, ignorance), that alone is all-pervasive. That itself is called 'Braj'. It is of the form of truth, consciousness and bliss, supremely radiant and indestructible and only those free from the bondage of action live in it.
