Text 13] The Manus, Administrators of the Universe 19

isvarah paramah krsnah
sac-cid-Gnanda-vigrahah
anddir adir govindah

sarva-kaérana-karanam

“Krsna, known as Govinda, is the supreme controller. He has an eternal,
blissful, spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin, for
He is the prime cause of all causes.”” For the Lord’s existence there is no
cause, for He is the cause of everything. He is in everything (maya tatam
idarn sarvam), He is expanded in everything, but He is not everything.
He is acintya-bhedabheda, simultaneously one and different. That is ex-
plained in this verse. In the material condition we have a conception of
beginning, end and middle, but for the Supreme Personality of Godhead
there are no such things. The universal cosmic manifestation is also the
virad-ripa that was shown to Arjuna in Bhagavad-gitd. Therefore, since
the Lord is present everywhere and all the time, He is the Absolute
Truth and the greatest. He is complete in greatness. God is great, and
how He is great is explained here.
