TRANSLATION

The Supreme Personality of Godhead is self-sufficient and fully
independent. He is the master of everyone and everything, includ-
ing the illusory energy. He has His form, qualities and features;
and similarly His order carriers, the Vaisnavas, who are very
beautiful, possess bodily features, transcendental qualities and a
transcendental nature almost like His. They always wander within
this world with full independence.

PURPORT

Yamaraja was describing the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the
supreme controller, but the order carriers of Yamaraja were very eager to
know about the Visnuditas, who had defeated them in their encounter
with Ajamila. Yamardaja therefore stated that the Visnuditas resemble
the Supreme Personality of Godhead in their bodily features, transcen-
dental qualities and nature. In other words, the Visnuditas, or
Vaisnavas, are almost as qualified as the Supreme Lord. Yamaraja in-
formed the Yamaditas that the Visnuditas are no less powerful than
Lord Visnu. Since Visnu is above Yamaraja, the Visnuditas are above the
Yamaditas. Persons protected by the Visnuditas, therefore, cannot be
touched by the Yamaditas.
