Lord Vishnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the enjoyer of all sacrifices, is the time factor and the master of all masters. He enters everyone's heart, He is the support of everyone, and He causes every being to be annihilated by another.

PURPORT

Lord Vishnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is clearly described in this passage. He is the supreme enjoyer, and all others are working as His servants. As stated in the Caitanya caritamrita (Adi 5.14), ekale isvara krishna: the only Supreme Lord is Vishnu. Ara saba bhritya: all others are His servants. Lord Brahma, Lord Siva and other demigods are all servants. The same Vishnu enters everyone's heart as Paramatma, and He causes the annihilation of every being through another being.
