Text 34] Hiranyakasipu’s Plan to Become Immortal 163

transcendental qualities; tvam—you; bhunkse—enjoy; sthitah—situ-
ated; dhamani—in your own abode; pdadramesthye—the supreme;
avyaktah—not manifested through ordinary kfiowledge; atma—the
soul; purusah—the supreme person; puranah—the oldest.

TRANSLATION

O my lord, being changelessly situated in your own abode, you
expand your universal form within this cosmic manifestation, thus

appearing to taste the material world. You are Brahman, the Super-
soul, the oldest, the Personality of Godhead.

PURPORT

It is said that the Absolute Truth appears in three features—namely,
impersonal Brahman, localized Supersoul and ultimately the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Krsna. The cosmic manifestation is the gross
material body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who enjoys the
taste of the material mellows by expanding His parts and parcels, the liv-
ing entities, who are qualitatively one with Him. The Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead, however, is situated in the Vaikuntha planets,
where He enjoys the spiritual mellows. Therefore the one Absolute
Truth, Bhagavan, pervades all by His material cosmic manifestation, the
spiritual Brahman effulgence, and His personal existence as the Supreme

Lord.
