urukramasya - of Urukrama; devasya - the Lord; mÄyÄ - by His internal potency; vÄmana-rÅ«piṇaḥ - having the form of a dwarf; kÄ«rtau - in KÄ«rti; patnyÄm - His wife; bá¹›hacchlokaḥ - Bá¹›hatÅ›loka; tasya - of him; Äsan - were; saubhaga-Ädayaḥ - sons beginning with Saubhaga.
By His own potency, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who has multifarious potencies, appeared in the form of a dwarf as Urukrama, the twelfth son of Aditi. In the womb of His wife, whose name was Kīrti, He begot one son, named Bṛhatśloka, who had many sons, headed by Saubhaga.
As the Lord says in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (4.6):
ajo ’pi sann avyayÄtmÄ
bhÅ«tÄnÄm Ä«Å›varo ’pi san
praká¹›tiá¹ svÄm adhiá¹£á¹hÄya
sambhavÄmy Ätma-mÄyayÄ
“Although I am unborn and My transcendental body never deteriorates, and although I am the Lord of all sentient beings, I still appear in every millennium in My original transcendental form.†When the Supreme Personality of Godhead incarnates, He does not need any help from the external energy, for He appears as He is by His own potency. The spiritual potency is also called mÄyÄ. It is said, ato mÄyÄmayaá¹ viṣṇuá¹ pravadanti manÄ«á¹£iṇaḥ: the body accepted by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is called mÄyÄmaya. This does not mean that He is formed of the external energy; this mÄyÄ refers to His internal potency.
