Manvantara Enumerations Begin: Svāyambhuva’s Austerity, Yajñapati’s Protection, and the Avatāras up to Hari
Gajendra Prelude
न यस्याद्यन्तौ मध्यं च स्व: परो नान्तरं बहि: । विश्वस्यामूनि यद् यस्माद् विश्वं च तदृतं महत् ॥ १२ ॥
na yasyādy-antau madhyaṁ ca svaḥ paro nāntaraṁ bahiḥ viśvasyāmūni yad yasmād viśvaṁ ca tad ṛtaṁ mahat
ພຣະເຈົ້າສູງສຸດບໍ່ມີຕົ້ນ ບໍ່ມີປາຍ ແລະບໍ່ມີກາງ. ພຣະອົງບໍ່ເປັນຂອງຜູ້ໃດຫຼືຊາດໃດ ແລະບໍ່ມີການແບ່ງວ່າຂ້າງໃນຫຼືຂ້າງນອກ. ຄວາມຄູ່ຕ່າງໆໃນໂລກ ເຊັ່ນ ຕົ້ນ-ປາຍ ແລະ ຂອງຂ້ອຍ-ຂອງເຈົ້າ ບໍ່ມີໃນພຣະອົງ. ຈັກກະວານທີ່ອອກມາຈາກພຣະອົງກໍເປັນອີກລັກສະນະໜຶ່ງຂອງພຣະອົງ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ພຣະອົງແມ່ນສັດຈະສູງສຸດ ແລະສົມບູນໃນຄວາມຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is described in the Brahma-saṁhitā (5.1) :
This verse says the Supreme Reality has no beginning, end, or middle and cannot be confined as ‘within’ or ‘without’; He is the source and support of the universe, therefore He is ṛtam—unfailing Truth.
To dissolve material duality (mine/others) and show that the Lord is not limited by social or bodily designations; He pervades and transcends all existence as the one foundation of the cosmos.
Practice seeing beyond divisive labels and remember the Divine presence as the underlying reality in all situations—this supports steadiness, humility, and devotion.
