132 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 3
You have prayed for the benediction of a son like Me for King
Nabhi, but this is very difficult to obtain. Since I am the Supreme
Person without a second and since no one is equal to Me, another
personality like Me is not possible to find. In any case, because you
are all qualified brahmanas, your vibrations should not prove
untrue. I consider the brahmanas who are well qualified with
brahminical qualities to be as good as My own mouth.
PURPORT

The word avitatha-girbhih means “‘they whose spoken vibrations can-
not be nullified.”” The brahmanas (dvija, the twiceborn), are given a
chance by the sastric regulations to become almost as powerful as the
Supreme Lord. Whatever a bradhmana speaks cannot be nullified or
changed in any circumstance. According to the Vedic injunctions, a
bradhmana is the mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead;
therefore in all rituals a brahmana is offered food (brahmana-bhojana)
because when a brdhmana eats, it is considered that the Supreme Lord
Himself eats. Similarly, whatever a brahmana speaks cannot be changed.
It must act. The learned sages who were priests at Maharaja Nabhi’s
sacrifice were not only bréhmanas but were so qualified that they were
like devas, demigods, or God Himself. If this were not the case, how
could they invite Lord Visnu to come to the sacrificial arena? God is one,
and God does not belong to this or that religion. In Kali-yuga, different
religious sects consider their God to be different from the God of others,
but that is not possible. God is one, and He is appreciated accurding to
different angles of vision. In this verse the word kaivalyat means that
God has no competitor. There is only one God. In the Svetdsvatara
Upanisad (6.8) it is said, na tat-samas cabhyadhikas ca drsyate: **No one
is found to be equal to Him or greater than Him.” That is the definition
of God.
