TRANSLATION
"All the Vedas and literature that strictly follows the Vedic principles explain that the Supreme Brahman is the Absolute Truth, the greatest of all, and a feature of the Supreme Lord.
PURPORT
The greatest of everything is Sri Krsna. Lord Krsna states in the Bhagavad-gita (15.15), vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah: "By all the Vedas, I am to be known.") In Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that the Absolute Truth is understood in three phases-namely, Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead (brahmeti paramatmeti bhagavan iti sabdyate). Thus the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the last word in understanding the Absolute Truth, Brahman.
