TRANSLATION
Yet there
is another nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this manifested
and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all
in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is.
PURPORT
Krsna's superior
spiritual energy is transcendental and eternal. It is beyond all the changes
of material nature, which is manifest and annihilated during the days and
nights of Brahma. Krsna's superior energy is completely opposite in quality
to material nature. Superior and inferior nature are explained in the Seventh
Chapter.
