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 caritāmrita (Ādi 5.14), ekale īśvara krishna: the only Supreme Lord is Vishnu. Āra saba bhritya: all others are His servants. Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and other demigods are all servants. The same Vishnu enters everyone's heart as Paramātmā, and He causes the annihilation of every being through another being.
