jiva-Sakti tatasthakhya, nahi yara anta
mukhya tina Sakti, tara vibheda ananta

SYNONYMS

jiva-Sakti-the energy of the living entity; tatastha-akhya— known as marginal;
nahi—there is not; yara—of which; anta—end; mukhya—principal; tina—three; sakti--
energies; tara—of them; vibheda—varieties; ananta—unlimited.

TRANSLATION

The marginal potency, which is between these two, consists of the numberless
living beings. These are the three principal energies, which have unlimited categories
and subdivisions.

PURPORT

The internal potency of the Lord, which is called cit-Sakti or antaranga-sakti,
exhibits variegatedness in the transcendental Vaikuntha cosmos. Besides ourselves,
there are unlimited numbers of liberated living beings who associate with the
Personality of Godhead in His innumerable features. The material cosmos displays
the external energy, in which the conditioned living beings are provided all liberty
to go back to the Personality of Godhead after leaving the material tabernacle. The
Svetasvatara Upanisad (6.8) informs us:

na tasya karyamm karanam ca vidyate
na tat-samas cabhyadhikas ca drsyate
parasya Saktir vividhaiva sriiyate
svabhaviki jfiana-bala-kriyd ca

“The Supreme Lord is one without a second. He has nothing to do personally, nor
does He have material senses. No one is equal to Him nor greater than Him. He has
unlimited, variegated potencies of different names, which exist within Him as
autonomous attributes and provide Him full knowledge, power and pastimes.”
