Avatāra-kathā — The Puruṣa, the Many Incarnations, and Kṛṣṇa as Svayam Bhagavān
स वा इदं विश्वममोघलील: सृजत्यवत्यत्ति न सज्जतेऽस्मिन् । भूतेषु चान्तर्हित आत्मतन्त्र: षाड्वर्गिकं जिघ्रति षड्गुणेश: ॥ ३६ ॥
sa vā idaṁ viśvam amogha-līlaḥ sṛjaty avaty atti na sajjate ’smin bhūteṣu cāntarhita ātma-tantraḥ ṣāḍ-vargikaṁ jighrati ṣaḍ-guṇeśaḥ
ఆ అమోఘలీల ప్రభువు షడైశ్వర్యసంపన్నుడు, షడింద్రియాధిపతి. ఆయన ఈ విశ్వాన్ని సృష్టించి, పోషించి, లయముచేస్తాడు; అయినా దానిలో లేశమాత్రం ఆసక్తి చెందడు. ప్రతి జీవిలో అంతర్హితుడై ఉండి కూడా సంపూర్ణ స్వతంత్రుడు।
The prime difference between the Lord and the living entities is that the Lord is the creator and the living entities are the created. Here He is called the amogha-līlaḥ, which indicates that there is nothing lamentable in His creation. Those who create disturbance in His creation are themselves disturbed. He is transcendental to all material afflictions because He is full with all six opulences, namely wealth, power, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation, and thus He is the master of the senses. He creates these manifested universes in order to reclaim the living beings who are within them suffering threefold miseries, maintains them, and in due course annihilates them without being the least affected by such actions. He is connected with this material creation very superficially, as one smells odor without being connected with the odorous article. Nongodly elements, therefore, can never approach Him, despite all endeavors.
