The universal form of the Lord is the complete whole of everything that be. This form, adorned with various crowns, clubs, discs, spears, and other weapons, is difficult to look at because of its glaring, fiery effulgence, immeasurable like the sun. Many, many other forms expand without limit from this universal body of the Lord, which spreads throughout the sky and the planets and all space in between. His arms are the resting place for the great demigods and other leaders, such as Lord Brahmā, Śiva, Sūrya, and Candra. Indeed, all varieties of living entities, including the birds, beasts, trees, and everything that be, are all covered by the universal form of the Lord at all times, although He is transcendental to all of them, eternally existing as the Supersoul in a form not exceeding nine inches.
