Cc Ādi 4.62
Text
ānandāṁśe hlādinī, sad-aṁśe sandhinī
cid-aṁśe samvit--yāre jñāna kari' māni
Synonyms

ānanda-aṁśe-in the bliss portion; hlādinī-the pleasure energy; sat-aṁśe-in the eternal portion; sandhinī-the existence-expanding energy; cit-aṁśe-in the cognizant portion; samvit-the full energy of knowledge; yāre-which; jñāna kari'-as knowledge; māni-I accept.

Translation

Hlādinī is His aspect of bliss; sandhinī, of eternal existence; and samvit, of cognizance, which is also accepted as knowledge.

Purport

Each of the three divisions of the internal potency-the sandhinī, samvit and hlādinī energies-influences one of the external potencies by which the conditioned souls are conducted. Such influence manifests the three qualitative modes of material nature, proving definitely that the living entities, the marginal potency, are eternally servitors of the Lord and are therefore controlled by either the internal or the external potency.
