# Cc. Madhya 6.139 ## Text > veda-purāṇe kahe brahma-nirūpaṇa > sei brahma—bṛhad-vastu, īśvara-lakṣaṇa ## Synonyms *veda*-*purāṇe*—in the *Vedas* and the *Purāṇas*; *kahe*—it is stated; *brahma*-*nirūpaṇa*—explaining the Supreme; *sei* *brahma*—that Supreme; *bṛhat*-*vastu*—the greatest; *īśvara*-*lakṣaṇa*—feature of the Supreme Personality. ## Translation **"All the Vedas and literature that strictly follows the Vedic principles explain that the Supreme Brahman is the Absolute Truth, the greatest of all, and a feature of the Supreme Lord.** ## Purport The greatest of everything is Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Lord Kṛṣṇa states in the *Bhagavad-gītā* [[bg/15/15|(Bg. 15.15)]], *vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ:* "By all the *Vedas,* I am to be known.") In *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam* it is said that the Absolute Truth is understood in three phases-namely, Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān, the Supreme Personality of Godhead (*brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate*). Thus the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the last word in understanding the Absolute Truth, Brahman.
