164 Srnnad-Bhigavabun [Canto 7, Ch. 3taya-unto he who is endowed; tasmai-unto him; bhagavate-untothe Supreme Personality of Godhead; TUJmab,-I offer my respectfulobeisances.TRANSLATIONLet me offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme, who inhis unlimited, unmanifested form has expanded the cosmicmanifestation, the form of the totality of the universe. Hepossesses external and internal energies and the mixed energycalled the marginal potency, which consists of all the livingentities.PURPORTThe Lord is endowed with unlimited potencies (parasya saktirvividhaiva srilyate), which are summarized as three, namely external,internal and marginal. The external potency manifests this materialworld, the internal potency manifests the spiritual world, and themarginal potency manifests the living entities, who are mixtures of internaland external. The living entity, being part and parcel of Parabrahman,is actually internal potency, but because of being in contact withthe material energy, he is an emanation of material and spiritual energies.The Supreme Personality of Godhead is above the material energyand is engaged in spiritual pastimes. The material energy is only an externalmanifestation of His pastimes.TEXT 35 G>lflt4iIW{ wlf 4{ I\(1.-qfA:- IIyadi dasyasy abhimatanvaran me varadottamabhiltebhyas tvad-visr$tebhyomrtyur rna bhun mama prabhoyadi-if; dasyasi-you will give; abhimatan-the desired; varanbenedictions;me-unto me; varada-uttama-0 best of all benedictors;bhiltebhyab,-from living entities; tvat-by you; visf$!ebhyab,-who are
