Text 147] The Liberation of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya 275

PURPORT

In the Chandogya Upanisad (6.2.3), it is said, tad aiksata bahu syarm prajayeya.
This verse confirms the fact that when the Supreme Personality of Godhead wish-
es to become many, the cosmic manifestation arises simply by His glancing over
material energy. It may be noted that the Supreme Lord glanced over the material
nature before the creation of this cosmic manifestation. Before the creation there
were no material minds or material eyes; therefore the mind by which the
Supreme Personality of Godhead desired to create is transcendental, and the eyes
with which He glanced over material nature are also transcendental. Thus the
Lord's mind, eyes and other senses are all transcendental.

brahma-sabde kahe purna svayarn bhagavan

SYNONYMS
brahma-sabde—by the word “Brahman”; kahe—it is said; pdrna—complete;
svayam—personally; bhagavan—the Supreme Personality of Godhead; svayam—
personally; bhagavan—the Supreme Personality of Godhead; krsna—Lord Krsna;
sastrera pramana—the verdict of all Vedic literature.

TRANSLATION

“The word ‘Brahman’ indicates the complete Supreme Personality of God-
head, who is Sri Krsna. That is the verdict of all Vedic literature.

PURPORT

This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (15.15), where the Lord says, vedais ca
sarvair aham eva vedyah. The ultimate object in all Vedic literature is Krsna. Every-
one is searching for Him. This is also confirmed elsewhere in Bhagavad-gita:

bahGnam janmanam ante
jfidnavan mar prapadyate
vasudevah sarvam iti
sa mahatma sudurlabhah

“After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto
Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is
very rare.’ (Bg. 7.19)
