TRANSLATION
Lord Sri Krishna is situated in everyone's heart and still He manifests His transcendental Form by His internal potency. The very same Lord was also sitting before him and as he (Bhismadeva) knew His glories, he worshipped Him duly.
PURPORT
The Lord's omnipotency is displayed by His simultaneous presence in every place. He is present always in His eternal abode Goloka Vrindaban and still He is present in everyone's heart even within every invisible atoms. When He manifests His eternal transcendental Form in the material world, He does so by His internal potency. The external potency or the material energy has nothing to do with His eternal Form. All these truths were known to Sri Bhismadeva and he worshipped him accordingly.
