116 Sri Caitanya-caritameta

admitted defeat and offered prayers to the Lord, addressing Him as the proprietor
and seer of everything in the creation and as the Supersoul who is within each and
every living entity and is dear to all. That Lord Krsna is Narayana, the father of
Brahma, because Lord Kggsna’s plenary expansion Garbhodakagayi Visnu, after
placing Himself on the Garbha Ocean, created Brahma from His own body. Maha-
Visnu in the Causal Ocean and Ksirodakasayi Visnu, the Supersoul in everyone’s
heart, are also transcendental expansions of the Supreme Truth.
