SB 8.5.32
padau mahiyam sva-krtaiva yasya
catur-vidho yatra hi bhuta-sargah
sa vai maha-purusa atma-tantrah
prasidatam brahma maha-vibhutih
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
On this earth there are four kinds of living entities, who are all created by Him. The material creation rests on His lotus feet. He is the great Supreme Person, full of opulence and power. May He be pleased with us.
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
The word mahi refers to the five material elements — earth, water, air, fire and sky — which rest upon the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Mahat-padam punya-yaso murareh. The mahat-tattva, the total material energy, rests on His lotus feet, for the cosmic manifestation is but another opulence of the Lord. In this cosmic manifestation there are four kinds of living entities — jarayu-ja (those born from embryos), anda-ja (those born from eggs), sveda-ja (those born from perspiration), and udbhij-ja (those born from seeds). Everything is generated from the Lord, as confirmed in the Vedanta-sutra (janmady asya yatah). No one is independent, but the Supreme Soul is completely independent. Janmady asya yato ’nvayad itaratas carthesv abhijñah sva-rat. The word sva-rat means “independent.” We are dependent, whereas the Supreme Lord is completely independent. Therefore the Supreme Lord is the greatest of all. Even Lord Brahma, who created the cosmic manifestation, is but another opulence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The material creation is activated by the Lord, and therefore the Lord is not a part of the material creation. The Lord exists in His original, spiritual position. The universal form of the Lord, vairaja-murti, is another feature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
