SRI BRAHMA-SAMHITA

Verse 6

evam jyotirmayo devah sadanandah paratparah
atmaramasya tasyasti prakrtya na samagamah [6]

Translation: That Lord of Gokula is the transcendental Supreme Personality of Godhead—the own self of eternal ecstasy. He is beyond the purview of mundanity, and He ever enjoys in the all-conscious spiritual realm; He is never associated with the beguiling mundane nature.

Purport: Krishna’s exclusive divine potency, His own personified potency, has manifest the pastimes of Goloka or Gokula. By Her grace, the jivas, who are of the marginal potency, may also enter into those pastimes. The secondary external Maya potency, who is like the shadow of that divine (chit) potency, is situated on the far (lower) shore of the Viraja river, which is at the lower limit of the Brahman plane; and Brahman is situated at the lowest boundary of Maha-Vaikuntha, which is the surrounding locality or outskirts of Goloka. In the face of such infinite purity, the external Maya potency feels ashamed to appear in Krishna’s view, to say nothing of taking His association.
