TRANSLATION
The Personality of Godhead is He who is described as the Absolute Whole in the  Vedas ,  Bhāgavatam ,  Upaniṣads  and other transcendental literatures. No one is equal to Him.
PURPORT
There are innumerable authoritative statements in the  Vedas  regarding the personal feature of the Absolute Truth. Some of them are as follows:
(1) From the  Rk-saṁhitā  (1.22.20):
tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ divīva cakṣurātatam
“The Personality of Godhead Viṣṇu is the Absolute Truth, whose lotus feet all the demigods are always eager to see. Like the sun-god, He pervades everything by the rays of His energy. He appears impersonal to imperfect eyes.”
(2) From the  Nārāyaṇātharva-śira Upaniṣad :  nārāyaṇād eva samutpadyante nārāyaṇāt pravartante nārāyaṇe pralīyante. atha nityo nārāyaṇaḥ. nārāyaṇa evedaṁ sarvaṁ yad bhūtaṁ yac ca bhavyam. śuddho deva eko nārāyaṇo na dvitīyo ‘sti kaścit.  “It is from Nārāyaṇa only that everything is generated, by Him only that everything is maintained, and in Him only that everything is annihilated. Therefore Nārāyaṇa is eternally existing. Everything that exists now or will be created in the future is nothing but Nārāyaṇa, who is the unadulterated Deity. There is only Nārāyaṇa and nothing else.”
(3) From the  Nārāyaṇa Upaniṣad :  yataḥ prasūtā jagataḥ prasūtā.  “Nārāyaṇa is the source from whom all the universes emanate.”
(4) From the  Hayaśīrṣa-pañcarātra :  paramātmā harir devaḥ.  “Hari is the Supreme Lord.”
(5) From the  Bhāgavatam  (11.3.34-35):
nārāyaṇābhidhānasya brahmaṇaḥ paramātmanaḥ
