अव्यक्तमूलं भुवनाङ्घ्रिपेन्द्र- महीन्द्रभोगैरधिवीतवल्क्षम् ॥२९॥
parārdhya-keyūra-maṇipraveka- paryastadordaṇḍa-sahasra-śākham avyakta-mūlam bhuvanāṅghripendram ahīndra-bhogair-adhivīta-valśam
parārdhya—very high; keyūra—ornaments; maṇipraveka—highly valuable jewels; paryastata—disseminating; urdaṇḍa—very high; sahasra-śākham—with thousands of branches; avyakta-mūlam—self-situated; bhuvana—universal; aṅghripa—trees; indram—the Lord; ahīndra—Anantadeva; bhogaiḥ—by hoods; adhivīta—surrounded; valśam—branches.
TRANSLATION
As a sandalwood tree is decorated with fragrant flowers and branches, the Lord's body was decorated with valuable jewels and pearls. He was the self-situated tree, the Lord of all others in the universe. And as a sandalwood tree is covered with many snakes, so the Lord's body was also covered by the hoods of Ananta.
PURPORT
The word  avyakta-mūlam  is significant here. Generally, no one can see the roots of a tree. But as far as the Lord is concerned, He is the root of Himself because there is no other separate cause of His standing but He Himself. In the  Vedas  it is said that the Lord is  svāśrayāśraya ; He is His own support, and there is no other support for Him. Therefore,  avyakta  means the Supreme Lord Himself and no one else.
