potencies of the Lord as follows. The transcendental potency of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead by which He maintains His existence is called sandhini.
The transcendental potency by which He knows Himself and causes others to know
Him is called samvit. The transcendental potency by which He possesses transcen-
dental bliss and causes His devotees to have bliss is called hladini.
