TEXT 55
एवं सकृद् ददर्शजः परब्रह्मात्मनोऽखिलान् । यस्य भासा सर्वमिदं विमाति सचराचरम् ॥५५॥
evam sakṛd dadarśājaḥ para-brahmātmano 'khilān yasya bhāsā sarvam idam vibhāti sa-carācaram
evam—thus; sakṛt—at one time; dadarśa—saw; ajaḥ—Lord Brahmā; para-brahma—of the Supreme Absolute Truth; ātmanaḥ—expansions; akhilān—all the calves and boys, etc.; yasya—of whom; bhāsā—by the manifestation; sarvam—all; idam—this; vibhāti—is manifested; sa-cara-acaram—whatever is moving and nonmoving.
TRANSLATION
Thus Lord Brahmā saw the Supreme Brahman, by whose energy this entire universe, with its moving and nonmoving living beings, is manifested. He also saw at the same time all the calves and boys as the Lord's expansions.
PURPORT
By this incident, Lord Brahmā was able to see how Kṛṣṇa maintains the entire universe in different ways. It is because Kṛṣṇa manifests everything that everything is visible.
