TRANSLATION

“Brahman, who is greater than the greatest, is the Supreme Personality of God-
head. He is full of six opulences, and therefore He is the reservoir of ultimate truth
and absolute knowledge.

PURPORT

In the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that the Absolute Truth is understood in three
phases of realization: the impersonal Brahman, the localized Paramatma and ulti-
mately the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The impersonal Brahman and localized
Paramatma are expansions of the potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
who is complete in six opulences, namely, wealth, fame, strength, beauty, knowledge
and renunciation. Since He possesses His six opulences, the Personality of Godhead
is the ultimate truth in absolute knowledge.
