PURPORT

According to Srila Sridhara Svami, the synonymous words satyasya and ritasya refer to, respectively, the proper or virtuous execution of religious principles and a convincing presentation of religion. Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura points out that the sons of Brahma were struck with wonder at the presentation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and were thinking, "What wonderful knowledge we have just heard." The Lord, recognizing their astonishment, spoke this verse to confirm their understanding of Him.
