yat yat—whatever; vidhatte—He performs; bhagavan—the Personality of
Godhead; svacchanda-atma—full of self-desire; dtma-mayaya—by His in-
ternal potency; tdni—all of them; me—to me; sraddadhanasya-—faithful;
kirtanyani—worthy of praise; anukirtaya—please describe.

TRANSLATION

Therefore please precisely describe all the activities and pastimes of the
Personality of Godhead, who is full of self-desire and who assumes all
these activities by His internal potency.

PURPORT

The word anukirtaya is very significant. Anukirtaya means to follow the
description—not to create a concocted mental description, but to follow.
Saunaka Rgi requested Sita Gosvami to describe what he had actually
heard from his spiritual master, Sukadeva Gosvami, about the transcenden-
tal pastimes which the Lord manifested by His internal energy. Bhagavan,
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has no material body, but He can
assume any kind of body by His supreme will. That is made possible by
His internal energy.
