Text 11] Rahagana Converses with Jada Bharata 415

sarva-sabdabhidheyas ca
Sabda-vrtter hi karanam

sarvantarah sarva-bahir
eka eva jandrdanah

The actual protectress is the material nature, but Visnu is her Lord. He is
the Lord of everything. Lord Janardana is the director both externally
and internally. He is the cause of the function of words and what is ex-
pressed in all sound.

Sirasodharata yadvad
grivayds tadvad eva tu

asrayatvam ca goptrtvam
anyesam upacaratah

Lord Visnu is the resting place of the entire creation: brahmano hi pra-
tisthaham (Bg. 14.27). On Brahman, everything is resting. All the
universes are resting on the brahmajyoti, and all the planets are resting
on the universal atmosphere. In each and every planet there are oceans.
hills, states and kingdoms, and each planet is giving shelter to so many
living entities. They are all standing on the earth of feet and legs. torso
and shoulders, but actually everything is resting ultimately on the
potencies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore He is
known ultimately as sarva-ka@rana-karanam, the cause of all causes.
