জীবশক্তি তটস্থাখ্য, নাহি যার অন্ত ।
মুখ্য তিন শক্তি, তার বিভেদ অনন্ত ॥ ১০৩ ॥ jiva-sakti tatasthakhya, nahi yara anta
mukhya tina sakti, tara vibheda ananta
SYNONYMS
jiva-sakti-the energy of the living entity; tatastha-akhya-known as marginal; nahi-there is not; yara-of which; anta-end; mukhya-principal; tina-three; sakti-energies; tara-of them; vibheda-varieties; ananta-unlimited.
TRANSLATION
The marginal potency, which is between these two, consists of the numberless living beings. These are the three principal energies, which have unlimited categories and subdivisions.
PURPORT
The internal potency of the Lord, which is called cit-sakti or antaraṅga-sakti, exhibits variegatedness in the transcendental Vaikuntha cosmos. Besides ourselves, there are unlimited numbers of liberated living beings who associate with the Personality of Godhead in His innumerable features. The material cosmos displays the external energy, in which the conditioned living beings are provided all liberty to go back to the Personality of Godhead after leaving the material tabernacle. The Svetasvatara Upanisad (6.8) informs us:
na tasya karyam karanam ca vidyate
na tat-samas cabhyadhikas ca drsyate parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca "The Supreme Lord is one without a second. He has nothing to do personally, nor does He have material senses. No one is equal to Him nor greater than Him. He has unlimited, variegated potencies of different names, which exist within Him as autonomous attributes and provide Him full knowledge, power and pastimes."
[Adi 2.103-1957]
