TRANSLATION

Your Lordship, being the origin of the life of this material
world, is the master and controller of the living entities, both mov-
ing and stationary, and you inspire their consciousness. You main-
tain the mind and the acting and knowledge-acquiring senses, and
therefore you are the great controller of all the material elements
and their qualities, and you are the controller of all desires.

PURPORT

In this verse it is clearly indicated that the original source of every-
thing is life. Brahma was instructed by the supreme life, Krsna. Krsna is
the supreme living entity (nityo nityanarm cetanas cetanandm), and
Brahmi is also a living entity, but the original source of Brahma is
Krsna. Therefore Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita (7.7), mattah parataramn
ndnyat kincid asti dhananjaya: “O Arjuna, there is no truth superior to
Me.” Krsna is the original source of Brahma, who is the original source
of this universe. Brahma is a representative of Krsna, and therefore all
the qualities and activities of Krsna are also present in Lord Brahma.
