24 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 1
TRANSLATION
I called for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, desiring a son like
Him, and I thought of Him only. But although He is far beyond the mental
speculation of man, all three of you have come here. Finally let me know
how you have come, for I am greatly bewildered about this.
PURPORT
Atri Muni was confidently aware that the Supreme Personality of God-
head is the Lord of the universe, so he prayed for the one Supreme Lord.
He was surprised, therefore, that three of them appeared.
