Translation

Another example: How is it possible for anyone to glorify You, whom Brahmā saw in Vṛndāvana? In one corner of that Vrndāvana are situated a million universes each made of an earth measuring five hundred million yojanas in diameter, each filled with lower hellish planets and the upper heavenly planets and all the material elements.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

The Lord’s size is shown by showing the size of Vṛndāvana.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

If one takes account of only one universe, he will find so many combinations of wonderful things within, because there are innumerable planets, innumerable residences and places of demigods. The diameter of the universe is four billion miles, and it is infested with many unfathomable regions known as Pātālas, or lower planetary systems. Although Kṛṣṇa is the origin of all this, He can always be seen in Vṛndāvana, exhibiting His inconceivable potencies. So who can adequately worship such an all-powerful Lord, possessed of such inconceivable energy?
