TEXT 15
- te yoga-māyayārabdha-

- procuḥ prāñjalayo viprāḥ
- prahṛṣṭāḥ kṣubhita-tvacaḥ
tethose — those; yogathrough His internal potency-māyayāthrough His internal potency — through His internal potency; ārabdhahad been revealed — had been revealed; pārameṣṭhyaof the Supreme Personality of Godhead — of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; mahāmultiglories-udayammultiglories — multiglories; procuḥspoke — spoke; prāñjalayaḥwith folded hands — with folded hands; viprāḥthe four brāhmaṇas — the four brāhmaṇas; prahṛṣṭāḥextremely delighted — extremely delighted; kṣubhitahair standing on end-tvacaḥhair standing on end — hair standing on end.
The four brāhmaṇa sages were nevertheless extremely delighted to behold Him, and they experienced a thrill throughout their bodies. They then spoke as follows to the Lord, who had revealed the multiglories of the Supreme Personality through His internal potency, yogamāyā.
The sages were almost too puzzled to speak before the Supreme Personality of Godhead for the first time, and the hairs of their bodies stood erect due to their extreme joy. The highest opulence in the material world is called pārameṣṭhya, the opulence of Brahmā. But that material opulence of Brahmā, who lives on the topmost planet within this material world, cannot compare to the opulence of the Supreme Lord because the transcendental opulence in the spiritual world is caused by yogamāyā, whereas the opulence in the material world is caused by mahāmāyā.
