Soma Pacifies the Pracetās; Dakṣa’s Haṁsa-guhya Prayers; Hari Grants Creative Power
यस्मिन्यतो येन च यस्य यस्मै यद्यो यथा कुरुते कार्यते च । परावरेषां परमं प्राक् प्रसिद्धं तद् ब्रह्म तद्धेतुरनन्यदेकम् ॥ ३० ॥
yasmin yato yena ca yasya yasmai yad yo yathā kurute kāryate ca parāvareṣāṁ paramaṁ prāk prasiddhaṁ tad brahma tad dhetur ananyad ekam
En Él todo reposa; de Él y por Él todo acontece. Todo le pertenece y todo se le ofrece. Él actúa y también hace actuar: Él es el Parabrahman, conocido desde antes de toda actividad. Aunque haya causas altas y bajas, Él es la causa de todas las causas, uno sin segundo, sin otra causa. A Él ofrezco mis respetos.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is the original cause, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā ( ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ ). Even this material world, which is conducted under the modes of material nature, is caused by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who therefore also has an intimate relationship with the material world. If the material world were not a part of His body, the Supreme Lord, the supreme cause, would be incomplete. Therefore we hear, vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā su-durlabhaḥ: if one knows that Vāsudeva is the original cause of all causes, he becomes a perfect mahātmā.

To affirm that the Supreme Truth is the ultimate, independent source behind all causes—there is no rival or separate second principle outside Him.
It cultivates humility and steadiness: do your duty sincerely while remembering outcomes and capacities ultimately depend on the Supreme will and support.
