PURPORT

This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.14.38), spoken by Lord Brahma after he had stolen Lord Krsna’s cows, calves and cowherd boys and Krsna had exhibited His transcendental opulence by re-creating all the stolen cows, calves and cowherd boys by His visnu-murti expansions.

After he had seen this, Brahma offered the above prayer.
