SB 2.6.25

Also Utensils, grains, ghee for fire ,honey,'gold , hearth', water, the vedic scripturesand at least four officiating persons are required for this, oh my son, pure n pious !

SB 2.6.26

It also involves the invocation of holy names and mantras and the settlingof tithe to priests, taking oaths concerning the specific godhead presidingAnd for the purpose of each of them there is a particular vedic injunction .

SB 2.6.27

To progress to the ultimate goal I thus organized these essential ingredients ,which of course belong to the body of the Lord so as to complete my sacrifice

SB 2.6.28

Thus well-equipped I worshiped, engaging with all the ingredients, the expressionsof the Original Person, the Supreme Personality, the original enjoyer of all sacrifices.

SB 2.6.29

Following my example, Narada, your divine brothers, the nine mastersof beings, offered sacrifice for His manifest and non-manifest personalities.

SB 2.6.30Thereon, schools of demigods including Manus, the fathers of mankind, from

whom the name man* came in due course ,did worship to please Him,and so did then, sages, forefathers, scholars, asuras, and mankind at all time

* authors addition

SB 2.6.31

By the will of Lord Narayana, the Godhead, all these great manifestations,

accepted the illusion of form in the universe, found their universal dutiesin creation, maintenance and dissolution, though Lord is in self-sufficience .

SB 2.6.32

So according to His will, I create while under His subordination Siva dissolvesHe Himself acts thereto as the Unified Trinity and controls the entire universe.

SB 2.6.33

Thus I explained upon your request my dear son, all this to you, whatever you broodof, whether as cause or effect, there is nothing that has its existence beyond the Lord.

SB 2.6.34

Oh Nrada, this attitude always proved itself to be correct as my heart in zeal greatlyholds to the Lord, neer wandering in untruth nor degraded in chasms of temporality.

SB 2.6.35

Though as Brahma, I am The Vedas, austerity, as well as the worshippable masterof all the forefathers, I could not fathom Him from whom I myself am born, my Sire

SB 2.6.36

I therefore worship the all-auspicious feet of the Lord as other surrendered soulsdo which stop transmigration and grant bliss, I cant estimate the potency of Hisenergies , just as sky cannot see its own limit, how can it be known by others ?

SB 2.6.37

Since neither I, nor you oh sons, nor Lord Siva have an idea of the true nature of Hismovements, one cannot expect that the other demigods would do any better,with one's

intelligence clouded by His illusory energies,one sees only as far as one's abilties

SB 2.6.38

We offer Him, the Supreme Lord, our respectful obeisances, whose incarnationand activities we glorify, though even by divinities, like us He is not fully known

SB 2.6.39

He, the Primal Person , in each millennium creates within Himself, by Himself, His own

transcendental presence, maintaining Himself for some time and reabsorbing all again

SB 2.6.40-41

Without any material stain, pure and perfect in knowledge and all-pervading in fullnessHe is situated in truth as the absolute without beginning and end, free from the modesof nature and in a position where He is eternally unrivaled, Oh wise one, great thinkerscan only understand this with a pacified self and their senses under cover, as otherwise

orKaranodakasayi Vishnu, forming the basis of spacetime or kala svabhavahVishnuthe original nature of time, cause, effect, the elements, the modes, as also throughthe ego, the senses and the mind, and the diversity of the whole indeed constitute

all that moves and does not move of the Lord also called Garbhodakasayi Vishnu

worlds the leaders of the denizens of heaven as Ghandarva, Vidydhara and lesser gods
