TRANSLATION
Whatever we can understand by nomenclature, characteristics and
features of a particular thing, superior, inferior or equal, eternal or
temporary, is not created from any source other than that of your lord-
ship, thou so great.
PURPORT
The manifested world is full of varieties of created beings in 8,400,000
species of life, and some of them are superior and inferior to others. In
human society the human being is considered to be the superior living
being, and amongst the human beings there are also different varieties:
good, bad, equal, ete. But Narada Muni took for granted that none of
them has any source of generation besides his father Brahmajt. Therefore he
wanted to know all about them from Lord Brahma.
