TRANSLATION
When I finished performing mystic yoga for one thousand
years, you asked me upon whom I was meditating. Now, here is
that Supreme Person to whom time has no entrance and who the
Vedas cannot understand.
PURPORT

kingdom of god. Nor can the Vedas understand the Supreme Personality
of Godhead. This is an indication of the Lord’s being omnipotent,
omnipresent and omniscient.
