TRANSLATION

The common materialistic conditioned souls speculate that the Lord is
one of them. Out of their ignorance they think that the Lord is affected
by matter, although He is unattached.

PURPORT

The word abudhah is significant here. Due to ignorance only, the foolish
mundane wranglers misunderstand the Supreme Lord and spread their
foolish imaginations amongst innocent persons by propaganda. The Su-
preme Lord Sri Krsna is the original primeval Personality of Godhead, and
when He was personally present before the eyes of everyone, He displayed
full-fledged divine potency in every field of activities. As we have already
explained in the first verse of Srimad-Bhagavatam, He is completely
independent to act however He likes, but all His actions are full of bliss,
knowledge and eternity. Only the foolish mundaners misunderstand Him,
unaware of His eternal form of knowledge and bliss which is confirmed
in the Bhagavad-gita and Upanisads. His different potencies work in a
perfect plan of natural sequence, and doing everything by the agency of
His different potencies, He remains eternally the supreme independent.
