PURPORT
The word  pūrvaja  is described in  Bhagavad-gītā  (10.8):  ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate . All the demigods, including Lord Brahmā, are manifested from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore the original person, the cause of all causes, is Govinda, the  ādi-puruṣam .
