न तस्य कश्चित्पतिरस्ति लोके न चेशिता नैव च तस्य लिङ्गम्। स कारणं करणाधिपाधिपो न चास्य कश्चिज्जनिता न चाधिपः॥

na tasya kaścitpatirasti loke na ceśitā naiva ca tasya liṅgam | sa kāraṇaṃ karaṇādhipādhipo na cāsya kaścijjanitā na cādhipaḥ ||

"There is no master of His in the world, no ruler, nor is there any mark of Him. He is the cause, the lord of the lords of the senses, and He has no parent or lord."

What This Means:

No one is His master or ruler. He has no identifying mark (cannot be limited by description). He is the cause, lord of sense-lords, with no parent or superior.

Going Deeper:

"No mark" (linga) means He cannot be defined by limiting attributes. He is the ultimate cause with no prior cause (no parent).

How To Apply This:

Know that God has no master, no cause, no limitation. He is the causeless cause.
