Because the Lord is unlimited, no one can estimate His power. This entire universe, filled with its many great mountains, rivers, oceans, trees and living entities, is resting just like an atom on one of His many thousands of hoods. Is there anyone, even with thousands of tongues, who can describe His glories?
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Since the Lord is unlimited, what person, even having a thousand tongues, can count the powers of the great Lord of immeasurable powers, Ananta with a thousand heads, who has placed on just one of his heads the small particle known as the universe with its mountains, rivers oceans and living beings? On one head, the universe is situated. Sattva means living entities. Who even with a thousand tongues can count the Lord’s powers?
