TRANSLATION
“The Brahmas and other lords of the mundane worlds appear from the pores of
the Maha-Visnu and remain alive for the duration of His one exhalation. | adore the
primeval Lord, Govinda, for Maha-Visnu is a portion of His plenary portion.”
PURPORT
This description of the Lord’s creative energy is from the Brahma-sarmhita (5.48),
which Lord Brahma compiled after his personal realization. When Maha-Visnu ex-
hales, the spiritual seeds of the universe emanate from Him in the form of molecular
particles like those that are visible, three times the size of an atom, when sunlight is
diffused through a small hole. In these days of atomic research it will be a worth-
while engagement for atomic scientists to learn from this statement how the entire
universe develops from the spiritual atoms emanating from the body of the Lord.
