The Liberation of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya
269
TRANSLATION
“All Vedic literature and other literature that strictly follows the Vedic principles ascertain that the Supreme Brahman is the Absolute Truth, the greatest of all, and a feature of the Supreme Lord.
PURPORT
The greatest of everything is Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Lord Kṛṣṇa states in  Bhagavad-gītā ,  vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ : “By all the  Vedas , I am to be known.” (Bg. 15.15) In  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  it is said that the Absolute Truth is understood in three phases—namely, Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān, the Supreme Personality of Godhead ( brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate ). Thus the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the last word in understanding the Absolute Truth, Brahman.

PURPORT
Brahman means  bṛhattva , the greatest of all. The greatest of all is Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He possesses all potencies and opulence in full; therefore the Absolute Truth, the greatest of all, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whether one says “Brahman” or “the Supreme Personality of Godhead,” the fact is the same, for they are identical. In  Bhagavad-gītā , Arjuna accepted Kṛṣṇa as  paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma . Although the living entities or material nature are sometimes described as Brahman, Paraṁ Brahma—the Supreme,
