God is above the three characteristics of nature

ब्रह्माद्यास्त्रिगुणाधीशाः शिवस्त्रिगुणतः परः |
निर्विकारी परब्रह्म तुर्यः प्रकृतितः परः || 5 ||

Lord Brahma, etc. are the lords of the three gunas (characteristics of nature: sattva, rajas, tamas); Lord Shiva is above the three gunas, free from defects, the supreme element, in the fourth state, transcending nature.
