14.94 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 30
TRANSLATION

Around the neck of the Personality of Godhead hung a flower garland
that reached to His knees. His eight stout and elongated arms were decorated
with that garland, which challenged the beauty of the goddess of fortune.
With a merciful glance and a voice like thunder, the Lord addressed the
sons of King Pracinabarhisat, who were very much surrendered unto Him.

PURPORT

The word adyah in this verse is very significant. The Supreme Personality
of Godhead is the origin even of Paramatma and Brahman. As confirmed in
Bhagavad-gita:

brahmano hi pratisthaham
amrtasyavyayasya ca
$asvatasya ca dharmasya
sukhasyaikdntikasya ca
“And I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is the constitutional
position of ultimate happiness, and which is immortal, imperishable and
eternal.” (Bg. 14.27)

The Absolute Truth thus begins not with the impersonal Brahman but
with the original Personality of Godhead, Krsna. When Arjuna realized
Krsna’s greatness, he addressed Him in this way:

arjuna uvaca
param brahma param dhama
pavitram paramam bhavan
purusam sasvatam divyam
ddi-devam ajar vibhum
ahus tvdm rsayah sarve
devarsir ndradas tatha
asito devalo vydsah
svayam caiva bravisi me
“Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Brahman, the ultimate, the supreme
abode and purifier, the Absolute Truth and the eternal divine person. You
are the primal God, transcendental and original, and You are the unborn
and all-pervading beauty. All the great sages such as Narada, Asita, Devala,
and Vyasa proclaim this of You, and now You Yourself are declaring it to
me.” (Bg. 10.12-13)
