There is no end to the great and glorious qualities of that powerful Lord Anantadeva. Indeed, His prowess is unlimited. Though self-sufficient, He Himself is the support of everything. He resides beneath the lower planetary systems and easily sustains the entire universe.

Gauḍīya
Translation
The independent Supreme Lord Ananta, possessing unlimited powers and great qualities, situated below the lower planets, easily supports the earth for its continued existence.
Duranta means unlimited.
Personal Guidance
Anantadeva, though self-sufficient, becomes the support of everything — He doesn't need to support, but does. Real strength chooses to support rather than being forced to. Whom does your strength support today?
Reflection Questions
- Where am I withholding support because I don't 'need' to give it?
- What in me would mature if I chose to support, like Ananta, what I am not obliged to support?
