TRANSLATION

The demigods said: Let us offer our respectful obeisances unto the transcendental Personality of
Godhead, who created as His external energy this cosmic manifestation, which is situated in Him as the
air and clouds are situated in space, and who has now appeared in the form of Nara-Nryaa i in the
house of Dharma.

PURPORT

The universal form of the Lord is the cosmic manifestation, which is an exhibition of the external energy
of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In space there are innumerable varieties of planets and also the
air, and in the air there are variously colored clouds, and sometimes we see airplanes running from one
place to another. Thus the entire cosmic manifestation is full of variety, but actually that variety is a
manifestation of the external energy of the Supreme Lord, and that energy is situated in Him. Now the
Lord Himself, after manifesting His energy, appeared within the creation of His energy, which is
simultaneously one with and different from Himself, and therefore the demigods offered their respects
to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who manifests Himself in such varieties. There are some
philosophers, called nondualists, who because of their impersonal conception think that varieties are
false. In this verse it is specifically stated, yo myay viracitam. This indicates that the varieties are a
manifestation of the energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus because the energy is
nondifferent from the Godhead, the varieties are also factual. The material varieties may be temporary,
but they are not false. They are a reflection of the spiritual varieties. Here the word praticakaya,
"there are varieties," announces the glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who appeared as
Nara-Nryaa i and who is the origin of all varieties of material nature.

TRANSLATION

Let that Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is understood by truly authorized Vedic literature and
who has created peace and prosperity to destroy all calamities of the created world, be kind enough to
bestow His glance upon the demigods. His merciful glance can supersede the beauty of the spotless
lotus flower which is the home of the goddess of fortune.

PURPORT

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the origin of the cosmic manifestation, is covered by the
wonderful activities of material nature, just as outer space or the illumination of the sun and moon is
sometimes covered by clouds or dust. It is very difficult to find the origin of the cosmic manifestation;
therefore material scientists conclude that nature is the ultimate cause of all manifestations. But from
stra, or authentic literature like Bhagavad-gt and other Vedic scriptures, we understand that behind
this wonderful cosmic manifestation is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and in order to maintain
the regular procedures of the cosmic manifestation and to be visible to the eyes of persons who are in
the mode of goodness, the Lord appears. He is the cause of the creation and dissolution of the cosmic
manifestation. The demigods therefore prayed for His merciful glance upon them in order to be blessed.

That Nara-Nryaa i, who is a partial expansion of Ka, has now appeared in the dynasties of Yadu
and Kuru, in the forms of Ka and Arjuna respectively, to mitigate the burden of the world.

PURPORT

Nryaa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Nara is a part of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, Nryaa. Thus the energy and the energetic together are the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. Maitreya informed Vidura that Nara, the portion of Nryaa, had appeared in th
