Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
In the Chāndogya Upaniṣad (3.14.2) the Lord is described as satya- saṅkalpaḥ, “He whose desire always comes to pass.” In the Nārada- pañcarātra (1.12.26) it is stated:
vedānirvacanīyaṃ ca svecchām ayam adhīśvaram nityaṃ satyaṃ nirguṇaṃ ca jyoti-rūpaṃ sanātanam
“The Lord is unapproachable by the Vedas. He is supremely independent, the controller of all, eternal, truthful, transcendental to mundane
qualities, effulgent, and primeval.”
