Translation
O my lord, being changelessly situated in your own abode, you expand your universal form within this cosmic manifestation, thus appearing to taste the material world. You are Brahman, the Supersoul, the oldest, the Personality of Godhead.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
O lord! The universe is your gross body by which you enjoy the senses, life airs, mind and sense objects, but you are still situated in your svarūpa of great power. Thus you are Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān.
This universe, as the universal form, is your gross body by which you enjoy the senses, life airs and mind and sense objects (guṇān), but, situated in your svarūpa (dhāmani) of great power (pārameṣṭhye), you enjoy, without a disappearance of you svarūpa. Therefore you are Brahman (avyaktaḥ), Paramātmā (ātmā), and Bhagavān (puruṣaḥ purāṇaḥ).
Purport
It is said that the Absolute Truth appears in three features — namely, impersonal Brahman, localized Supersoul and ultimately the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. The cosmic manifestation is the gross material body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who enjoys the taste of the material mellows by expanding His parts and parcels, the living entities, who are qualitatively one with Him. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, however, is situated in the Vaikuṇṭha planets, where He enjoys the spiritual mellows. Therefore the one Absolute Truth, Bhagavān, pervades all by His material cosmic manifestation, the spiritual Brahman effulgence, and His personal existence as the Supreme Lord.
