My dear father, all this is known to you scientifically because whatever was created in the past, whatever will be created in the future, or whatever is being created at present, as well as everything within the universe, is within your grip, just like a walnut.
Purport

Brahmā is the direct creator of the manifested universe and everything within the universe. He therefore knows what happened in the past, what will happen in the future, and what is happening at present. Three principal items, namely the living being, the phenomenal world and the controller, are all in continuous action — past, present and future — and the direct manager is supposed to know everything of such actions and reactions, as one knows about a walnut within the grip of one’s palm. The direct manufacturer of a particular thing is supposed to know how he learned the art of manufacturing, where he got the ingredients, how he set it up and how the products in the manufacturing process are being turned out. Because Brahmā is the firstborn living being, naturally he is supposed to know everything about creative functions.

Translation
You, the master of all living beings in the past, present and future, know this universe; you know everything about the Paramātmā, jīva and matter. Thus, you understand this universe with detailed knowledge like an āmalakī in your hand.
Commentary

You know everything. You know three things: Paramātmā, jīvātmā and the material universe. Because you are the master of all entities born in the past, of all born in the future, and all existing now, you know (avasitam) with detailed (vi) knowledge (jṣāna) this universe like an āmalakī in your hand.
