Text 13] The Process of Creation 189

bodies; antarbhavaya—unto Him who resides within; anupalaksya—incon-
ceivable; vartmane—one who has such ways.

TRANSLATION

Sukadeva Gosvami said: Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto
the Supreme Personality of Godhead who, for the creation of the material
world, accepts the three modes of nature. He is the complete whole residing
within the body of everyone, and His ways are inconceivable.

PURPORT

This material world is a manifestation of the three modes of goodness,
passion and ignorance, and the Supreme Lord, for the creation, mainte-
nance and destruction of the material world, accepts three predominating
forms of Brahma, Visnu and Sankara (Siva). As Visnu He enters into every
body materially created. As Garbhodakasayi Visnu He enters into every
universe, and as Ksirodakagayi Visnu He enters in the body of every living
being. Lord Sri Krsna, being the origin of all Visnu-tattvas, is addressed
here as parah puman, or Purusottama, as described in the Bhagavad-gita
(Bg. 15.18), or the complete whole. The purusdvataras are therefore His
plenary expansions. Bhakti-yoga is the only process by which one can
become competent to know Him. Because the empiric philosophers and
mystic yogis cannot conceive of the Personality of Godhead, He is called
anupalaksya-vartmane, the Lord of the inconceivable way, or bhakti-yoga.
