Rahūgaṇa Converses with Jaḍa Bharata
415
sarva-śabdābhidheyaś ca śabda-vṛtter hi kāraṇam sarvāntaraḥ sarva-bahir eka eva janārdanaḥ
The actual protectress is the material nature, but Viṣṇu is her Lord. He is the Lord of everything. Lord Janārdana is the director both externally and internally. He is the cause of the function of words and what is expressed in all sound.
śirasodhāratā yadvad grīvāyās tadvad eva tu āśrayatvam ca goptṛtvam anyeṣām upacārataḥ
Lord Viṣṇu is the resting place of the entire creation:  brahmaṇo hi pra-tiṣṭhāham  (Bg. 14.27). On Brahman, everything is resting. All the universes are resting on the  brahmajyoti , and all the planets are resting on the universal atmosphere. In each and every planet there are oceans, hills, states and kingdoms, and each planet is giving shelter to so many living entities. They are all standing on the earth of feet and legs, torso and shoulders, but actually everything is resting ultimately on the potencies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore He is known ultimately as  sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam , the cause of all causes.
