	Śrī Uddhava offered glorification to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and ultimate shelter of all holy places, saying, "The Supreme Lord has no beginning and no end.

Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa then described all these opulences, after which He commented that all power, beauty, fame, opulence, humility, charity, charm, good fortune, valor, tolerance and wisdom-wherever they are manifest-are simply expansions from Himself.

Such conceptions are the results of mentally combining two ideas to produce an object that exists only in the imagination, such as a sky flower.
