Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
ataḥ śrī-vaiṣṇavaiḥ sarva-śruti-smṛti-nidarśanaiḥ |
tad brahma śrī-bhagavato vibhūtir iti kīrtyate ||190||
Thus the Śrī-vaiṣṇavas who have taken into account all the śruti and smṛti statements, say that this brahman is the vibhūti of Bhagavān.

The members of the Vaiṣṇava schools therefore never try to merge into the Brahman effulgence in their pursuit of spiritual perfection. They accept Kṛṣṇa as the ultimate goal of self-realization. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is called Para-brahman (the Supreme Brahman) or Parameśvara (the supreme controller).

Commentary

Though the Śrī-vaiṣṇavas say that word brahman denotes bhagavān and do not accept the existence of a separate impersonal brahman, it should be understood here that another opinion has been accepted and is stated here.
