Now Parīkṣit asks another question. The planets were previously imagined as limbs of the puruṣa starting in SB 2.5.36. The limbs of the puruṣa were equated with the planets starting in SB 2.1.26. I have heard this from your mouth. If there are some other details concerning this, please tell that. I asked about the jīva controlled by the Lord and the second puruṣa situated in the universe (SB 2.8.8). I have asked about the first puruṣa, creator of the mahat-tattva (SB 2.8.10) and the third puruṣa situated in all living entities (SB 2.8.10). It is said in the smṛti:

viṣṇos tu trīṇi rūpāṇi puruṣākhyāny atho viduḥ | ekaṁ tu mahataḥ sraṣṭṛ dvitīyaṁ tantu-saṁsthitam | tṛtīyaṁ sarva-bhūtasthaṁ tāni jñātvā vimucyate ||

The three forms of Viṣṇu are called puruṣas. The first is the creator of the mahat-tattva. The second is situated in the universe, and the third is situated in all living entities. One who knows them becomes liberated.

I have also asked about the totality of jīvas in the present question about the limbs of the puruṣa. These five questions are suitable for śānta and dāsya bhakti. These questions indicate that Śukadeva should tell how the form of the Lord, that Brahmā saw, is distinct from the jīva. This is desired in prīti-bhakti or dāsya-bhakti.
