SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM - Prabhupada

Text 29] Hir&J,lyaka8ipu's Plan to Become Immortal 157perfect knowledge and intelligence by the Lord. As stated in Srimad­Bhagavatam, tene brahma hrda ya adi-kavaye: although Brahmli is thefirst created being, he is not independent, for he receives help from theSupreme Personality of Godhead through his heart. There is no one butBrahmli at the time of creation, and therefore he receives his intelligencedirectly from t,he Lord through the heart. This has been discussed in thebeginning of Srimad-Bhiigavatam.Lord Brahmli is described in this verse as the original cause of the cosmicmanifestation, and this applies to his position in the material world.There are many, many such controllers, all of whom are created by theSupreme Lord, Vi!?J:.lU. This is illustrated by an incident described inCaitanya-caritamrta. When the Brahmli of this particular universe wasinvited by !?J:.la to Dvarakli, he thought that he was the only Brahmli.Therefore when !?J:.la inquired from His servant which Brahmli was atthe door to visit, Lord Brahmli was surprised. He replied that of courseLord Brahmli, the father of the four Kumliras, was waiting at the door.Later, Lord Brahmli asked !?J:.la why He had inquired which Brahmlihad come. He was then informed that there are millions of otherBrahmlis because there are millions of universes. !?J:.la then called allthe Brahmlis, who immediately came to visit Him. The catur-mukhaBrahmli, the four-headed Brahmli of this universe, thought himself avery insignificant creature in the presence of so many Brahmlis with somany heads. Thus although there is a Brahmli who is the engineer ofeach universe, !?J:.la is the original source of all of them.TEXT 29m iil•a€1mQt;r tffir: 3fiilr-11 Ifm*rw«aulf1ffint ij!JUIIijU tvam iSe jagatas tasthU§aS caprdr:tena mukhyena pati/:1. prajanamcittasya cittair mana-indriyal)iimpatir mahan bhuta-guT)ii.Sayesa/:1.
