Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

I will now describe the dynasties and the Manvantaras, periods of Manus. The Supreme Lord, Paramātmā, becoming the creator Brahmā, with unfailing determination, creates himself in another form (effects) by his own energy. Ātmabhūr hariḥ means “the Supreme Lord, becoming Brahmā.” Thus ends the commentary on Tenth Chapter of the Third Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas. Chapter Eleven Description of Time

Purport

The cosmic manifestation is an expansion of one of the many energies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; the creator and the created are both emanations of the same Supreme Truth, as stated in the beginning of the Bhāgavatam: janmādy asya yataḥ. Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Third Canto, Tenth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Divisions of the Creation.”
