TEXT No. 29

Sa eva idam sasarja agre bhagwan atmamayaya Sad asad rupaya cha asou gunamayee aguna bibhuh


ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Sa—that, Eva—certainly, Idam—this, Sasarja—created, Agre—before, Bhagwan—the Personality of Godhead, Atmamayaya—by His personal potency, Sad—the cause, Asad—the effect, Rupaya—by forms, Cha—and, Asou—the same Lord, Gunamoyee—in the modes of material nature, Aguna—transcendental, Bibhu—the Absolute.


TRANSLATION

That Absolute Personality of Godhead (Vasudeva) in the beginning of the material creation, created the causal and effectual energies in His transcendental position by His own internal energy.


PURPORT

The position of the Lord is always transcendental because the causal and effectual energies required for the creation of the material world, were also created by Him. He is therefore, unaffected by the qualities of the material modes. His existence, form, activities and parapharnalia all existed before the material creation. He is all spiritual and has nothing to do with the qualities of the material world which are qualitatively distinct from the spiritual qualities of the Lord.
