श्रीशुक उवाच इति देवः स आपृष्टः प्रजासंयमनो यमः । प्रीतः स्वदूतान् प्रत्याह स्मरन् पादाम्बुजं हरेः ।। ६-३-११ ।।

sanskrit

Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thus having been questioned, Lord Yamarāja, the supreme controller of the living entities, was very pleased with his order carriers because of hearing from them the holy name of Nārāyaṇa. He remembered the lotus feet of the Lord and began to reply. ।। 6-3-11 ।।

यम उवाच परो मदन्यो जगतस्तस्थुषश्च ओतं प्रोतं पटवद्यत्र विश्वम् । यदंशतोऽस्य स्थितिजन्मनाशा नस्योतवद्यस्य वशे च लोकः ।। ६-३-१२ ।।

sanskrit

Yamarāja said: My dear servants, you have accepted me as the Supreme, but factually I am not. Above me, and above all the other demigods, including Indra and Candra, is the one supreme master and controller. The partial manifestations of His personality are Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva, who are in charge of the creation, maintenance and annihilation of this universe. He is like the two threads that form the length and breadth of a woven cloth. The entire world is controlled by Him just as a bull is controlled by a rope in its nose. ।। 6-3-12 ।।

यो नामभिर्वाचि जनान्निजायां बध्नाति तन्त्र्यामिव दामभिर्गाः । यस्मै बलिं त इमे नामकर्मनिबन्धबद्धाश्चकिता वहन्ति ।। ६-३-१३ ।।

sanskrit

Just as the driver of a bullock cart ties ropes through the nostrils of his bulls to control them, the Supreme Personality of Godhead binds all men through the ropes of His words in the Vedas, which set forth the names and activities of the distinct orders of human society [brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya and śūdra]. In fear, the members of these orders all worship the Supreme Lord by offering Him presentations according to their respective activities. ।। 6-3-13 ।।

अन्ये च ये विश्वसृजोऽमरेशा भृग्वादयोऽस्पृष्टरजस्तमस्काः । यस्येहितं न विदुः स्पृष्टमायाः सत्त्वप्रधाना अपि किं ततोऽन्ये ।। ६-३-१५ ।।

sanskrit

as well as the best of the demigods headed by Bṛhaspati, and the great sages headed by Bhṛgu are all certainly freed from the influence of the two base material modes of nature, namely passion and ignorance. Nevertheless, although we are in the mode of goodness, we cannot understand the activities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. What, then, is to be said of others, who, under illusion, merely speculate to know God? ।। 6-3-15 ।।
