Translation: 

 

Of the powerful I am bodily and mental strength, and I am the devotional activities of My devotees. My devotees worship Me in nine different forms, among which I am the original and primary Vasudeva.

 

Purport: 

 

Generally, the Vaisnavas worship the Personality of Godhead as Vasudeva, Sankarsana, Pradyumna, Aniruddha, Narayana, Hayagriva, Varaha, Nrsimha and Brahma. It is understood that when a suitable living entity is not available to fill the post of Brahma, the Lord Himself assumes the position; therefore Lord Brahma is mentioned in the list. Lord Visnu sometimes appears as Indra and sometimes as Brahma, and it is Visnu appearing as Brahma who is indicated in this connection.
