:sabe hailā caturbhuja vaikuṇṭhera pati
:pṛthak pṛthak brahmāṇḍera brahmā kare stuti
:eka kṛṣṇa-deha haite sabāra prakāśe
:kṣaṇeke sabāi sei śarīre praveśe
<p>Now, these, all these cowherd boys and everything, cows and everything, they are all expansion of Kṛṣṇa's energy. It is spiritual. Just like we are expansion of Kṛṣṇa's marginal energy and the matter is also expansion of Kṛṣṇa's inferior material energy, similarly, in the spiritual world all those things—Kṛṣṇa, the cowherd boys, the cows, and everything—they are also expansion of His spiritual energy.</p>
:eka kṛṣṇa-deha haite sabāra prakāśe
:kṣaṇeke sabāi sei śarīre praveśe
:ihā dekhi' brahmā hailā mohita, vismita
:stuti kari' ei pāche karilā niścita
<p>Brahmā, he was bewildered. When Kṛṣṇa came on this planet, Brahmā... Muhyanti yat sūrayaḥ. Brahmā was astonished and Indra was astonished: "How is that my Lord Kṛṣṇa has come at Vṛndāvana as a cowherd boy?" So they came to Vṛndāvana to test. So all... So Brahmā, by his... He has got so much power. He had kidnapped all the cows and the boys of Kṛṣṇa. And when he came back he saw Kṛṣṇa is playing with the same cows and boys again. Then he could understand that "This boy is Kṛṣṇa." Then he offered his prayer and begged pardon from Him that "I misunderstood." In this way there are many narrations in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Here Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu is referring to that incident.</p>
:ihā dekhi' brahmā hailā mohita, vismita
:stuti kari' ei pāche karilā niścita
<p>So he was astonished, and then, after prayer, he was satisfied.</p>
:ye kahe-'kṛṣṇera vaibhava muñi saba jānon'
:se jānuka—kāya-mane muñi ei mānoṅ
<p>So Brahmā admitted that "If anybody says that 'I know Kṛṣṇa. I know the Supreme Personality of Godhead in detail,' so maybe he may know, but so far I am concerned, I do not know." The purport is that Brahmā is the first creature in this universe. He is the first living entity. He accepts his inability to understand about Kṛṣṇa, and what to speak of others? What to speak of the commentator who says that "This is not Kṛṣṇa; this is something else."</p>
:ei ye tomāra ananta vaibhavāmṛta-sindhu
:mora vāṅ-mano-gamya nahe eka bindu
<p>Brahmā admitted that "Your activities, Your pastimes, everything of You, it is not possible even to taste or to understand even a particle of it." The very verse recited here,</p>
:jānanta eva jānantu
:kiṁ bahūktyā na me prabho
:manaso vapuṣo vāco
:vaibhavaṁ tava gocaraḥ
:Nobody can understand how great is Kṛṣṇa.
:kṛṣṇera mahimā rahu-kebā tāra jñātā
:vṛndāvana-sthānera dekha āścarya vibhutā
<p>That is described, the glories of Kṛṣṇa—nobody can understand. Similarly, vṛndāvana-sthānera āścarya vibhutā. Similarly, the land which is known as Vṛndāvana, it has also got unlimited potency. Still, as I have several times mentioned, if you go to Vṛndāvana you'll find unlimited potency of spiritual atmosphere still. And therefore Lord Caitanya recommended that ārādhyo bhagavān vrajeśa-tanayaḥ tad dhāma vṛndāvanam: "As Lord Kṛṣṇa is worshipable, similarly His place, Vṛndāvana, is as good as Kṛṣṇa. It is also worshipable." And actually, still in India, if you go to Vṛndāvana, you'll see so many saints and sages are still there. They are worshiping Vṛndāvana-dhāma.</p>
