PURPORT

The controlling Deities of the living beings in the mundane worlds are the three
purusa-avataras. But the potent energy displayed by Sit Krsna is far more extensive
than that of the purusas. Sri Krsna is therefore the original father and Lord who
protects all creative manifestations through His various plenary portions. Since He
sustains even the shelters of the collective living beings, there is no doubt that Sri
Kysna is the original Narayana.
