416 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 25

upasarmhrta—who has restrained; amarsa—of His intolerance; rosa—
and wrath; vegah—the force; lokdnadm—of all people on all planets;
svastaye—for the welfare; dste—remains.

TRANSLATION

Lord Sankarsana is the ocean of unlimited spiritual qualities,
and thus He is known as Anantadeva. He is nondifferent from the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. For the welfare of all living en-
tities within this material world, He resides in His abode, restrain-
ing His anger and intolerance.

PURPORT

Anantadeva’s main mission is to dissolve this material creation, but He
checks His anger and intolerance. This material world is created to give
the conditioned souls another chance to go back home, back to Godhead,
but most of them do not take advantage of this facility. After the cre-
ation, they again exercise their old propensity for lording it over the
material world. These activities of the conditioned souls anger Anan-
tadeva, and He desires to destroy the entire material world. Yet, because
He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He is kind toward us and
checks His anger and intolerance. Only at certain times does He express
His anger and destroy the material world.
