Subduing Kaliya 125
living entities—their senses, their lives, their minds, their intelligence—You
are to be realized by Your internal energy. Let us therefore offer our
respectful obeisances unto You, who are unlimited, finer than the finest,
the center of all creation and knower of everything. Different varieties of
philosophical speculators try to reach You. You are the ultimate goal of
all philosophical efforts, and You are actually described by all philosophies
and by different kinds of doctrines. Let us offer our respectful obeisances
unto You, because You are the origin of all scripture and the source of
knowledge. You are the root of all evidences, and You are the Supreme
Person who can bestow upon us the supreme knowledge. You are the
cause of all kinds of desires, and You are the cause of all kinds of satis-
faction. You are the Vedas personified. Therefore we offer You our
respectful obeisances.

“Our dear Lord, You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna,
and You are also the supreme enjoyer now appeared as the son of
Vasudeva, who is a manifestation of the pure state of goodness. You
are the predominating Deity of mind and intelligence, Pradyumna and
Aniruddha, and You are the Lord of all Vaisnavas. By Your expansion as
caturvyuha—namely Vasudeva, Sarikarsana, Aniruddha and Pradyumna—
You are the cause of the development of mind and intelligence. By Your
activities only, the living entities become covered by forgetfulness or
discover their real identity. This is also confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita
(Fifteenth Chapter): the Lord is sitting as the Supersoul in everyone’s
heart, and due to His presence the living entity either forgets himself or
revives his original identity. We can partially understand that You are
within our hearts as the witness of all our activities, but it is very difficult
to appreciate Your presence, although every one of us can do so to some
extent. You are the supreme controller of both the material and spiritual
energies; therefore You are the supreme leader, although You are different
from this cosmic manifestation. You are the witness and creator and the
very ingredient of this cosmic manifestation. We therefore offer our
respectful obeisances unto You. Our dear Lord, in the matter of creating
this cosmic manifestation, personally You have nothing to exert; by
expending Your different kinds of energy—namely the mode of goodness,
the mode ef passion and the mode of ignorance—You can create, maintain .
and annihilate this cosmic manifestation. As the controller of the entire
time force, You can simply glance over the material energy, create this
universe and energize the different forces of material nature which are
acting differently in different creatures. No one can estimate, therefore,
how Your activities are going on within this world. Our dear Lord,
