TRANSLATION

Thus Lord Siva could understand his position and that of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, who has unlimited potencies.
Having reached this understanding, he was not at all surprised by
the wonderful way Lord Visnu had acted upon him.

PURPORT

The Supreme Personality of Godhead is known as all-powerful be-
cause no one can excel Him in any activity. In Bhagavad-gita (7.7) the
Lord says, mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya: ““O con-
queror of wealth, there is no truth superior to Me.”’ No one can equal the
Lord or be greater than Him, for He is the master of everyone. As stated
in Caitanya-caritamrta (Adi 5.142), ekale isvara krsna, Gra saba
bhrtya. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, is the only master
of everyone, including even Lord Siva, what to speak of others. Lord Siva
was already aware of the supreme power of Lord Visnu, but when he was
actually put into bewilderment, he felt proud to have such an exalted
master.
