TRANSLATION
King Rahūgana said: O most exalted personality, you are not different from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By the influence of your true self, all kinds of contradiction in the śāstras have been removed. In the dress of a friend of a brāhmana, you are hiding your transcendental blissful position. I offer my respectful obeisances unto you.
PURPORT
From the Brahma-samhitā we understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the cause of all causes (sarva-kārana-kāranam [Bs. 5.1]). Rishabhadeva was the direct incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the cause of all causes. His son, Bharata Mahārāja, who was now acting as the brāhmana Jada Bharata, had received his body from the cause of all causes. Therefore he is addressed as kārana-vigrahāya.
