Purport

This is a quotation from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.14.38), spoken by Lord Brahmā after he had stolen Lord Kṛṣṇa's cows, calves and cowherd boys and Kṛṣṇa had exhibited His transcendental opulence by re-creating all the stolen cows, calves and cowherd boys by His viṣṇu-mūrti expansions. After he had seen this, Brahmā offered the above prayer.
