English translation:
(39) “My pure body is the personification of all sacrifices. Personalities such as Brahmā and Śiva glorify its characteristics.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
“I am Viṣṇu, the Lord of all sacrifices, so there is no possibility of attributing any kind of impurity or fault on My spiritual body. My characteristics are the object of glorification for personalities like Brahmā and Śiva.”
That the Lord is the personification of all sacrifices is described in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (2.7.1) krauḍīṃ tanuṃ sakala-yajña-mayīm anantaḥ and in Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (3.13.32-44).
