Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 6, Ch. 4]
Pūrṇānandādi-guṇakaṁ sarva-jīva-vilakṣaṇam:  His form is completely spiritual, full of bliss, and completely distinct from that of the conditioned soul or any other living entity.  Uttamās tu hariṁ prāhus tāratamyena teṣu ca:  such philosophers are the best because they know that the Supreme Personality of Godhead reveals Himself differently to worshipers in various modes of material nature. They know that there are thirty-three million demigods just to convince the conditioned soul that there is a supreme power and to induce him to agree to worship one of these demigods so that by the association of devotees he may be able to understand that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As Lord Kṛṣṇa says in  Bhagavad-gītā, mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya:  “There is no truth superior to Me.”  Aham ādir hi devānām:  “I am the origin of all the demigods.”  Aham sarvasya prabhavaḥ:  “I am superior to everyone, even Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and the other demigods.” These are the conclusions of the  śāstra , and one who accepts these conclusions should be considered a first-class philosopher. Such a philosopher knows that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the Lord of the demigods ( deva-deveśvaraṁ sūtram ānandaṁ prāṇa-vedinaḥ ).
