TRANSLATION

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued, “ ‘O my Lord, O unconquerable one,
O master of all potencies, please exhibit Your internal potency to conquer the
nescience of all moving and inert living entities. Due to nescience, they ac-
cept all kinds of faulty things, thus provoking a fearful situation. O Lord,
please show Your glories! You can do this very easily, for Your internal po-
tency is beyond the external potency, and You are the reservoir of all opu-
lence. You are also the demonstrator of the material potency. You are also al-
ways engaged in Your pastimes in the spiritual world. You exhibit Your
reserved internal potency and sometimes exhibit the external potency by
glancing over it. Thus You manifest Your pastimes. The Vedas confirm Your
two potencies and accept both types of pastimes due to them.’ ”’

PURPORT

This verse is taken from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.87.14). It is from the prayers of
the sruti-gana, the personified Vedas who glorify the Lord.

The almighty Personality of Godhead has three potencies—internal, external
and marginal. When the conditioned souls are condemned due to forgetfulness,
the external potency creates the material world and puts the living entities under
its control. The three modes of material nature keep the living entity ina constant
state of fear. Bhayam dvitiyabhinivesatah. The controlled conditioned soul is al-
ways fearful due to being controlled by the external potency; therefore the con-
ditioned soul should always pray to the almighty Lord to conquer the external
potency (m4yda) so that she will no longer manifest her powers, which bind all liv-
ing entities, moving and inert.
