Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 3 - Chapter 1 - Verse 28

Sanskrit:

गुणावतारैर्विश्वस्य सर्गस्थित्यप्ययाश्रयम् ।सृजत: श्रीनिवासस्य व्याचक्ष्वोदारविक्रमम् ॥ २८ ॥

ITRANS:

guṇāvatārair viśvasyasarga-sthity-apyayāśrayamsṛjataḥ śrīnivāsasyavyācakṣvodāra-vikramam

Translation:

Please also describe the incarnations of the material modes of nature — Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara — and please describe the incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His magnanimous activities.

Purport:

Although Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara, the three incarnations of the material modes of nature, are the principal deities for the creation, maintenance and destruction of the cosmic manifestation, they are not the final authority. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa, is the ultimate goal, the cause of all causes. He is the āśraya, or the final rest of everything.
