TRANSLATION:
"The marginal potency, which is between these two, consists of the

have unlimited categories and subdivisions.
PURPORT:
The internal potency of the Lord, which is called cit-sakti or
antaranga-sakti, exhibits variegatedness in the transcendental
Vaikuntha cosmos. Besides ourselves, there are unlimited numbers of
liberated living beings who associate with the Personality of Godhead
in His innumerable features. The material cosmos displays the external
energy, in which the conditioned living beings are provided all liberty
to go back to the Personality of Godhead after leaving the material
tabernacle. The Svetasvatara Upanishad (6.8) informs us:
"The Supreme Lord is one without a second. He has nothing to do personally,
nor does He have material senses. No one is equal to Him or greater
than Him. He has unlimited, variegated potencies of different names,
which exist within Him as autonomous attributes and provide Him full
knowledge, power and pastimes."
