Text 134] The Residents of Varanasi Become Vaisnavas 371

atma—the Supersoul; andnamati-upalaksanah—who is not realized by persons
having many angles of vision.

TRANSLATION

“ ‘Before the cosmic manifestation was created, the creative propensity was
merged in His person. At that time all potencies and manifestations were
preserved in the personality of the Supreme Lord. The Lord is the cause of all
causes, and He is the all-pervading, self-sufficient person. Before the creation,
He existed with His spiritual potency in the spiritual world, wherein various
Vaikuntha planets are manifest.’
