TEXT 10
स चापि यत्र पुरुषो विश्वस्थित्युद्भवाप्ययः । मुक्त्वात्ममायां मायेशः शेते सर्वगुहाशयः ॥१०॥
sa cāpi yatra puruṣo viśva-sthity-udbhavāpyayaḥ muktvātma-māyām māyeśaḥ śete sarva-guhā-śayaḥ
saḥ—He; ca—also; api—as He is; yatra—where; puruṣaḥ—the Personality of Godhead; viśva—the material worlds; sthiti—maintenance; udbhava—creation; apyayaḥ—annihilation; muktvā—without being touched; ātma-māyām—own energy; māyeśaḥ—the Lord of all energies; śete—does lie on; sarva-guhā-śayaḥ—one who lies in everyone's heart.
TRANSLATION
Please also explain the Personality of Godhead, who lies in every heart as the Supersoul and as the Lord of all energies, but is untouched by His external energy.
PURPORT
Undoubtedly the form of the Lord who was seen by Brahmā must be transcendental, otherwise how could He simply look upon the creative energy without being touched? It is understood also that the same  puruṣa  lies in the heart of every living entity. This also requires proper explanation.
