PURPORT

Taking the proper position from which to describe the dynasty of
Manu, Sukadeva Gosvami begins by saying that when the entire world is
inundated, only the Supreme Personality of Godhead exists, and nothing
else. Sukadeva Gosvami will now describe how the Lord creates other
things, one after another.
