iti te ’bhihitam tata

yathedam anuprcchasi

nanyad bhagavatah kiñcid

bhavyam sad-asad-atmakam

 

Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

My dear son, whatever you inquired from me I have thus explained unto you, and you must know for certain that whatever there is (either as cause or as effect, both in the material and spiritual worlds) is dependent on the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

 

Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

The complete cosmic situation, both in the material and in the spiritual manifestations of the energies of the Lord, is working and moving first as the cause and then as the effect. But the original cause is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Effects of the original cause become the causes of other effects, and thus everything, either permanent or temporary, is working as cause and effect. And because the Lord is the primeval cause of all persons and all energies, He is called the cause of all causes, as confirmed in the Brahma-samhita as well as in the Bhagavad-gita. The Brahma-samhita (5.1) affirms:

 

isvarah paramah krsnah

 sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah

anadir adir govindah

 sarva-karana-karanam

 

And in the Bhagavad-gita (10.8) it is said:

 

aham sarvasya prabhavo

 mattah sarvam pravartate

iti matva bhajante mam

 budha bhava-samanvitah

 

So the original primeval cause is vigraha, the personal, and the impersonal spiritual effulgence, brahmajyoti, is also an effect of the Supreme Brahman (brahmano hi pratisthaham), Lord Krsna.
