TRANSLATION

Saunaka continued: There is no one who knows more than the Lord
Himself. No one is more worshipable or more mature a yogi than He.
He is therefore the master of the Vedas, and to hear about Him always is
the actual pleasure of the senses.

PURPORT

In Bhagavad-gita it is stated that no one can be equal to or greater than
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed in the Vedas also:
eko bahiinam yo vidadhati kaman. He is the supreme living entity and is
supplying the necessities of all other living entities. Thus all other living
entities, both visnu-tattva and jiva-tattva, are subordinate to the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Krsna. The same concept is confirmed here. Na hy
asya varsmanah purmsam: amongst the living entities, no one can surpass the
Supreme Person because no one is richer, more famous, stronger, more
beautiful, wiser or more renounced than He. These qualifications make
Him the Supreme Godhead, the cause of all causes. Yogis are very proud
of performing wonderful feats, but no one can compare to the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.

Anyone who is associated with the Supreme Lord is accepted as a first-
class yogi. Devotees may not be as powerful as the Supreme Lord, but by

Also used here is the word varimnah, the most worshipful of all yogis.
To hear from Krsna is the real pleasure of the senses; therefore He isknown
as Govinda, for by His words, by His teachings, by His instruction—by
everything connected with Him—He enlivens the senses. Whatever He
instructs is from the transcendental platform, and His instructions, being
absolute, are nondifferent from Him. Hearing from Krsna or His expansion
or plenary expansion like Kapila is very pleasing to the senses. Bhagavad-
gita can be read or heard many times, but because it gives great pleasure,
the more one reads Bhagavad-gita the more he gets the appetite to read
and understand it, and each time he gets new enlightenment. That is the
nature of the transcendental message. Similarly, we find that transcendental
