ātma-śabde - by the word ātmā; kahe - it is said; kṛṣṇa - the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa; bṛhattva - the greatest of all; svarūpa - identity; sarva-vyāpaka - all-pervasive; sarva-sākṣī - the witness of all; parama-svarūpa - the supreme form.

“The word ‘ātmā’ [‘self’] indicates the highest truth, Kṛṣṇa. He is the all-pervasive witness of all, and He is the supreme form.
