eta lañā sṛje puruṣa sakala saṁsāra
koṭi aṁśa-millions of parts and parcels; koṭi śakti-millions and millions of energies; koṭi avatāra-millions upon millions of incarnations; eta-all this; lañā-taking; sṛje-creates; puruṣa-the original person, Mahā-Viṣṇu; sakala saṁsāra-all the material world.
Mahā-Viṣṇu creates the entire material world, with millions of His parts, energies and incarnations. māyā -the external energy; yaiche -as; dui aṁśa -two parts; nimitta -the cause; upādāna -the ingredients; māyā -the material energy; nimitta-hetu -original cause; upādāna -ingredients; pradhāna -immediate cause; puruṣa -the person Lord Viṣṇu; īśvara -the Supreme Personality of Godhead; aiche -in that way; dvi-mūrti ha-iyā -taking two forms; viśva-sṛṣṭi kare -creates this material world; nimitta -the original cause; upādāna -the material cause; lañā -with. Just as the external energy consists of two parts-the efficient cause [nimitta] and the material cause [upādāna], māyā being the efficient cause and pradhāna the material cause-so Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, assumes two forms to create the material world with the efficient and material causes.
There are two kinds of research to find the original cause of creation. One conclusion is that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the all-blissful, eternal, all knowing form, is indirectly the cause of this cosmic manifestation and directly the cause of the spiritual world, where there are innumerable spiritual planets known as Vaikuṇṭhas as well as His personal abode, known as Goloka Vṛndāvana. In other words, there are two manifestations-the material cosmos and the spiritual world. As in the material world there are innumerable planets and universes, so in the spiritual world there are also innumerable spiritual planets and universes, including the Vaikuṇṭhas and Goloka. The Supreme Lord is the cause of both the material and spiritual worlds. The other conclusion, of course, is that this cosmic manifestation is caused by an inexplicable unmanifested void. This argument is meaningless.
