PURPORT

The greatest of everything is Sri Krsna.

Lord Krsna states in the Bhagavad-gita (15.15), vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah: “By all the Vedas, I am to be known.”) In Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that the Absolute Truth is understood in three phases-namely, Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead (brahmeti paramatmeti bhagavan iti sabdyate).

Thus the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the last word in understanding the Absolute Truth, Brahman.
