Text 31] The Harnsa-guhya Prayers 225

were not a part of His body, the Supreme Lord, the supreme cause,
would be incomplete. Therefore we hear, vdsudevah sarvam iti sa
mahatma sudurlabhah: if one knows that Vasudeva is the original cause
of all causes, he becomes a perfect mahdatma.

The Brahma-samhita (5.1) declares:

isvarah paramah krsnah
sac-cid-Gnanda-vigrahah
anddir ddir govindah

sarva-kadrana-karanam

“Krsna, who is known as Govinda, is the supreme controller. He has an
eternal, blissful, spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other
origin, for He is the prime cause of all causes.” The Supreme Brahman
(tad brahma) is the cause of all causes, but He has no cause. Andadir adir
govindah sarva-karana-karanam: Govinda, Krsna, is the original cause
of all causes, but He has no cause for His appearance as Govinda.
Govinda expands in multifarious forms, but nevertheless they are one.
As confirmed by Madhvacarya, ananyah sadrsabhavad eko riipady-
abhedatah: Krsna has no cause nor any equal, and He is one because His
various forms, as sva@msa and vibhinnamsa, are nondifferent from

Himself.
