Text 36] Chanting the Song Sung by Lord Siva 1067
known as the predominating Deity Pradyumna. Therefore, I offer my
respectful obeisances unto You.
PURPORT

The whole universe is maintained by the integrating power of the
Supreme Lord, who is known in that capacity by the name of Sankargana.
The material scientists might have discovered the law of gravity which
maintains the integration of objects within the material energy, yet the
master of all integration can create devastation by the disintegrating
blazing fire emanating from His mouth. A description of this can be found
in the Eleventh Chapter of Bhagavad-gita wherein the universal form of the
Lord is described. The master of integration is also the destroyer of this
world by virtue of His disintegrating energy. Sankarsana is the master of
integration and disintegration, whereas Pradyumna, another feature of Lord
Vasudeva, is responsible for universal growth and maintenance. The word
suksmaya is significant because within this gross material body there are
subtle material bodies—namely mind, intelligence and ego. The Lord in His
different features (Vasudeva, Aniruddha, Pradyumna and Sarikargana)
maintains both the material and subtle elements of this world. As men-
tioned in Bhagavad-gita, the material elements are earth, water, fire, air
and ether, and the material subtle elements are mind, intelligence and ego.
All of them are controlled by the Supreme Personality of Godhead as
Vasudeva, Satikarsana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha, and this will be further
explained in the following verse.
