He who dwells in this material world can not know this radiance of the Supreme Spiritual Being, Krishna. That is why it is not manifested in the material cosmos, but only in the spiritual world. These two "material and spiritual" energies are both eternally manifest.
Lord Krishna and Arjuna then reached an immense expanse of spiritual water. This forms the Ocean Karanarnava, still called Viraja, which means that it represents the origin of the creation of the material cosmos. The highest planetary system of the material galaxy "the Milky Way" is Satyaloka or Brahmaloka. Beyond are Rudraloka, and Maha-Visnuloka about whom it is said that the Maha-Visnu Supreme Being rests on the Ocean Karana. His breath brings forth innumerable galaxies, and when He inspires, He absorbs them again in Him. This is how the material world is created and then destroyed. As Krishna and Arjuna made their way through the waters, a powerful storm of absolute radiance was brewing, and the Ocean Karana was heavily agitated by high waves. By the grace of Krishna, Arjuna had the unique opportunity to contemplate the infinite beauty of the Ocean Karana. Accompanied by Krishna, Arjuna lives underwater a huge palace bristling with hundreds and thousands of columns made of precious jewels whose brilliance dazzles him to fascination. Inside the palace, Arjuna and Krishna contemplated the gigantic form of Anantadeva, (plenary emanation of Krishna) also known as Sesa. Anantadeva or Sesanaga had the shape of an immense snake with thousands of hoods, all adorned with precious jewels, sparkling with light. From each of Anantadeva's heads, two eyes cast a terrifying glance; his body had the whiteness of the eternal snows of Mount Kailasa; his neck, like his tongues, showed a bluish reflection. Arjuna thus contemplated the shape of Sesanaga and also saw, lying limply on Sesanaga's white and very soft body, Maha-Visnu, who seemed omnipresent and very powerful. Arjuna recognized Him as Purusottama.
It bears this Name, which means the greatest of all, or even God, the Supreme Person, because from this form emanates another form of Visnu, called Garbhodakasayi Visnu, which is in the material world. The Lord in his form of Maha-Visnu dwells beyond the material universe. Arjuna could see that Purusottama's carnation, Maha-Visnu, was as dark as that of a newly formed cloud during the rainy season. He was richly dressed in yellow. His face blossomed into a marvelous, unalterable smile, and his eyes, like lotus petals, exuded an unspeakable charm. The crown of Maha-Visnu was adorned with precious jewels and her magnificent earrings enhanced the beauty of her curly hair. Maha-Visnu had eight arms, all very long, stretching to his knees. At his throat the kaustubha stone, at his breast the symbol srivatsa, marking the place where the goddess of fortune rests. The Lord wore a long garland of lotus flowers that stretched to his knees, a vaijayanti garland. Surrounding him were his close companions Nanda and Sunanda, and the personified Sudarsana disk also stood near Him.
The Vedas, the original scriptures, state that the Lord possesses innumerable energies, and all were present in their personal form. Here are the most important of
