sciousness. Thus he fixed everything on the central point of the Supreme
Brahman [Krsna].
PURPORT
Whenever the word brahman appears, the impersonalists take this to
mean the impersonal effulgence, the brahmajyoti. Actually, however,
Parabrahman, the Supreme Brahman, is Krsna, Vasudeva. As stated in
Bhagavad-gita, vasudevah sarvam iti: Vasudeva extends everywhere as the
impersonal Brahman. One cannot fix one’s mind upon an impersonal “‘some-
thing.” Bhagavad-gita therefore says, kleso ’dhikataras tesam avyaktasakta-
cetasam: ‘For those whose minds are attached to the unmanifested, im-
personal feature of the Supreme, advancement is very troublesome.” (Bg.
12.5) Consequently when it is said herein that King Malayadhvaja fixed
his mind on brahman, “‘brahman” means the Supreme Personality of God-
head, Vasudeva.

In this way he stayed immovable in one place for one hundred years by
the calculations of the demigods. After this time, he developed pure devo-
