Obeisances unto You, the Supreme Lord Vāsudeva, Viṣṇu, the primeval person, the original seed. Obeisances unto You, the omniscient one. KB 10.59.27 “You possess all beauty, strength, fame, property, knowledge and renunciation; You are the shelter of all six opulences. Although You are all-pervading, You have appeared as the son of Vasudeva. Please, therefore, accept my respectful obeisances. You are the original Supreme Personality of Godhead and the supreme cause of all causes. Only Your Lordship is the reservoir of all knowledge. Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto You.

Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

I am playing in the ocean of your sweetness and aisvarya. I pay respects to you, full of all powers( bhagavate). But though are full of all powers, you are the son of Vasudeva (vasudevaya), but still you are the original form of bhagavan. Though you are the son of Vasudeva, you are also Visnu, the all pervading. Though you are all pervading, you are still a person (purusa), individualized. Though you are individualized, you are the source of all (adi bija), even of Visnu, as shown during the Brahma mohana lila. Though you are such a seed, you are form of complete consciousness itself, that is brahman (purna bodha). In other words, though you are endowed with infinite spiritual qualities, you are also the impersonal brahma. Though you are unborn (aja), you generate the universes. Though you generate the universes, you are impersonal brahman. Though you are impersonal and without qualities, you are endowed with form and unlimited qualities and energies (ananta saktaye). Though you have unlimited energies, you have three principal energies: tatashta, bahiranga and antaranga. You are the jiva composed of all the elevated and degraded souls (para avara atma), you are the body made of the five gross material elements (bhuta atma) and you are the internal witness, paramatma.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Such beauty is befitting. That is expressed in this verse. You are the form who eagerly reveals unlimited qualities (bhagavān) since you act as the son of Vasudeva. Thus you spread the universe with your glories and are the seed for your devotees (puruṣa) gaining (āya) prema. There is no need for the devotees to inform you about their desire since you are full of knowledge.

Purport (Sanatana Goswami)

Such beauty is befitting. That is expressed in this verse. You are the form who eagerly reveals unlimited qualities (bhagavān) since you act as the son of Vasudeva. Thus you spread the universe with your glories. You are internal and external. You exist in the hearts of all as antaryāmī (puruṣāya). Moreover you are the source of sweet pastimes (ādi-bījāya). Otherwise you would not show your infant and other pastimes. Or you are the cause for your devotees (puruṣa) gaining (āya) prema. There is no need for the devotees to inform you about their desire, since you are full of knowledge (pūrṇa-bodhāya). Or you give understanding of bhakti to the ātmārāmas, making liberation of the ātmārāmas insignificant. Kunti says: tathā paramahaṁsānāṁ munīnām amalātmanām | bhakti-yoga-vidhānārthaṁ kathaṁ paśyema hi striyaḥ || How can we women hope to see you, the object of bhakti for the omniscient, liberated sages?
