Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

In Kaivalya Upaniṣad (1.21) it is stated: apāṇi-pādo ‘ham acintya-śaktiḥ paśyāmy acakṣuḥ sa śṛṇomy akarṇaḥ—“Although I have no hands or feet, I have inconceivable potencies. I have no eyes, but I see everything. I have no ears, but I hear everything.” In His commentary on Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (6.16.11) Śrī Madhvācārya has written as follows: acintya- śaktitas tac ca yujyate parameśitum—“He is able to rule supreme by His inconceivable energy.”

In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.14.30) it is stated:

tad astu me nātha sa bhūri-bhāgo bhave ‘tra vānyatra tu vā tiraścām

yenāham eko ‘pi bhavaj-janānāṃ bhūtvā niṣeve tava pāda-pallavam

“My dear Lord, I therefore pray to be so fortunate that in this life as Lord Brahmā or in another life, wherever I take my birth, I may be counted as one of Your devotees. I pray that wherever I may be, even among the animal species, I can engage in devotional service to Your lotus feet.”
