Commentary
Prabhavam Origin. It may also mean great lordly power. Maharshis great sages like Bhrigu. As I am the source of all these gods; sages and living beings; it is very difficult for them to know Me. Sarvasah In every way -- not only am I the source of all the gods and the sages but also their efficient cause; their inner ruler and the dispenser or ordainer and the guide of their intellect; etc.
