changes are due to the action of the time factor. There is cause for fear for
a person who does not know how time acts.

Lord Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the enjoyer
of all sacrifices, is the time factor and the master of all masters. He

every being to be annihilated by another.

Lord Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is clearly described
in this passage. He is the supreme enjoyer, and all others are working as
His servants. As stated in the Caitanya-caritamrta, ekale iSvara krsna: the

Lord Brahma, Lord Siva and other demigods are all servants. The same Visnu
enters everyone’s heart as Paramatma, and He causes the annihilation of
every being through another being.
