Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 31

Sanskrit:

यस्यांशांशांशभागेन विश्वोत्पत्तिलयोदया: ।भवन्ति किल विश्वात्मंस्तं त्वाद्याहं गतिं गता ॥ ३१ ॥

ITRANS:

yasyāṁśāṁśāṁśa-bhāgenaviśvotpatti-layodayāḥbhavanti kila viśvātmaṁstaṁ tvādyāhaṁ gatiṁ gatā

Translation:

O Soul of all that be, the creation, maintenance and destruction of the universe are all carried out by a fraction of an expansion of an expansion of Your expansion. Today I have come to take shelter of You, the Supreme Lord.

Purport:

Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī explains this verse as follows: The Lord of Vaikuṇṭha, Nārāyaṇa, is but one expansion of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Mahā-Viṣṇu, the first creator, is Lord Nārāyaṇa’s expansion. The total material energy emanates from Mahā-Viṣṇu’s glance, and of that total material energy the three modes of nature are divided portions. Thus it is Śrī Kṛṣṇa, acting through His expansions, who generates, sustains and dissolves the universe.
