daśa-guṇa-uttaraiḥ —each ten times more than the previous one;  aṇḍa-kośaḥ —egg-shaped universe;  yatra —in whom;  patati —falls;  aṇu-kalpaḥ —like a minute atom;  saha —with;  aṇḍa-koṭi-koṭibhiḥ —millions of such universes;  tat —therefore;  anantaḥ —(You are called) unlimited.
TRANSLATION
Every universe is covered by seven layers—earth, water, fire, air, sky, the total energy and false ego—each ten times greater than the previous one. There are innumerable universes besides this one, and although they are unlimitedly large, they move about like atoms in You. Therefore You are called unlimited [ananta].
PURPORT
The  Brahma-saṁhitā  (5.48) says:
yasyaika-niśvasita-kālam athāvalambya jīvanti loma-vilajā jagad-aṇḍa-nāthāḥ viṣṇur mahān sa iha yasya kalā-viśeṣo govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
The origin of the material creation is Mahā-Viṣṇu, who lies in the Causal Ocean.

Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu controls every universe. This gives an idea of the meaning of  ananta , unlimited. What is to be said of the unlimited potency and existence of the Lord? This verse describes the coverings of the universe ( saptabhir daśa-guṇattarair aṇḍa-kośaḥ ). The first covering is earth, the second is water, the third is fire, the fourth is air, the fifth is sky, the sixth is the total material energy, and the seventh is the false ego. Beginning with the covering of earth, each covering is ten times greater than the previous one. Thus we can only
