The Glories of Lord Ananta
421
PURPORT
From Vedic literature we learn that when the Supreme Lord glances ( sa aikṣata ) over the material energy, the three modes of material nature become manifest and create material variety. Before He glances over the material energy, there is no possibility of the creation, maintenance and annihilation of the material world. The Lord existed before the creation, and consequently He is eternal and unchanging. Therefore how can any human being, however great a scientist or philosopher he may be, understand the ways of the Supreme Personality of Godhead?
The following quotations from  Caitanya-bhāgavata  ( Ādikhaṇḍa , 1.48-52 and 1.58-69) tell of the glories of Lord Ananta:
ki brahmā, ki śiva, ki sanakādi ‘kumāra’ vyāsa, śuka, nāradādi, ‘bhakta’ nāma yāṅra
“Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva, the four Kumāras [Sanaka, Sanātana, Sanandana and Sanāt-kumāra], Vyāsadeva, Śukadeva Gosvāmī and Nārada are all pure devotees, eternal servants of the Lord.
sabāra pūjita śrī-ananta-mahāśaya sahasra-vadana prabhu—bhakti-rasamaya
“Lord Śrī Ananta is worshiped by all the uncontaminated devotees mentioned above. He has thousands of hoods and is the reservoir of all devotional service.
ādideva, mahā-yogī, ‘īśvara’, ‘vaiṣṇava’ mahimāra anta iṅhā nā jānaye saba
“Lord Ananta is the original person and the great mystic controller. At the same time, He is a servant of God, a Vaiṣṇava. Since there is no end to His glories, no one can understand Him fully.
sevana śunilā, ebe śuna ṭhākurāla ātma-tantre yena-mate vaisena pātāla
“I have already spoken to you of His service to the Lord. Now hear how the self-sufficient Anantadeva exists in the lower planetary system of Pātāla.
