Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
When Mother Yaśodā saw the universe within the mouth of her son, she offered her obeisances to Him as follows: “I offer my respects to the form of the inconceivable and unmanifest, who is without qualities but who is the soul of all qualities, the form holding all the universes, the supreme Brahman.” Lord Brahmā also declares that the Lord’s pastimes
are inconceivable and incomprehensible in the Tenth Canto, Fourteenth Chapter, of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.
