SB 10.59.27
namo bhagavate tubhyam
vasudevaya visnave
purusayadi-bijaya
purna-bodhaya te namah
Translation:
Obeisances unto You, the Supreme Lord Vasudeva, Visnu, the primeval person, the original seed. Obeisances unto You, the omniscient one.
SB 10.59.28
ajaya janayitre ’sya
brahmane ’nanta-saktaye
paravaratman bhutatman
paramatman namo ’stu te
Translation:
Obeisances unto You of unlimited energies, the unborn progenitor of this universe, the Absolute. O Soul of the high and the low, O Soul of the created elements, O all-pervading Supreme Soul, obeisances unto You.
SB 10.59.29
tvam vai sisrksur aja utkatam prabho
tamo nirodhaya bibharsy asamvrtah
sthanaya sattvam jagato jagat-pate
kalah pradhanam puruso bhavan parah
Translation:
Desiring to create, O unborn master, You increase and then assume the mode of passion. You do likewise with the mode of ignorance when You wish to annihilate the universe and with goodness when You wish to maintain it. Nonetheless, You remain uncovered by these modes. You are time, the pradhana, and the purusa, O Lord of the universe, yet still You are separate and distinct.
Purport:
The word jagatah in the third line of this verse indicates that the functions of creation, maintenance and annihilation are here mentioned in a cosmic context.
The word utkatam indicates that when a particular function is being carried out, whether universal creation, maintenance or annihilation, the particular material quality associated with that function becomes predominant.
