The Sacrifice Performed by Dakṣa
251
nondifferent; therefore, energies possess the same quality as the energetic. Persons who are in full knowledge of the Personality of Godhead, analyzing His different energies and knowing their own constitutional position, are certainly very, very dear to the Lord. Persons, however, who may not even be conversant with knowledge of the Supreme Personality but who always think of the Lord with love and faith, feeling that He is great and that they are His parts and parcels, ever His servitors, are even more favored by Him. The particular significance of this verse is that the Lord is addressed as  vatsala .  Vatsala  means always favorably disposed. The Lord's name is  bhakta-vatsala . The Lord is famous as  bhakta-vatsala , which means that He is always favorably inclined to the devotees, whereas He is never addressed anywhere in the Vedic literature as  jñāni-vatsala .

TRANSLATION
We offer our respectful obeisances unto the Supreme, who has created varieties of manifestations and put them under the spell of the three qualities of the material world in order to create, maintain and annihilate them. He Himself is not under the control of the external energy; in His personal feature He is completely devoid of the variegated manifestation of material qualities, and He is under no illusion of false identification.
