सहस्रशिरसं साक्षाद्यमनन्तं प्रचक्षते संकर्षणाख्यं पुरुषं भूतेन्द्रियमनोमयम्

sahasra-śirasaṁ sākṣād yam anantaṁ pracakṣate saṅkarṣaṇākhyaṁ puruṣaṁ bhūtendriya-manomayam

Synonyms

sahasra-śirasam—with a thousand heads; sākṣāt—directly; yam—whom; anantam—Ananta; pracakṣate—they call; saṅkarṣaṇa-ākhyam—Saṅkarṣaṇa by name; puruṣam—the Supreme Personality of Godhead; bhūta—the gross elements; indriya—the senses; manaḥ-mayam—consisting of the mind..

Translation

The threefold ahaṅkāra, the source of the gross elements, the senses and the mind, is hence identical with them because it is their cause. It is known by the name of Saṅkarṣaṇa, who is directly Lord Ananta with a thousand heads.
