Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
It is stated in Bhagavad Gita 15.18,
yasmat ksaram atito 'ham aksarad api cottamah
ato 'smi loke vede ca prathitah purusottamah
'I' indicates Supreme Lord Sri Krishna. The Supreme Lord is beyond the comprehension of the individual spirit souls. Individual spirit souls are designated as 'ksara' because they are fallible i.e. they can deviate from their normal states. Sri Krishna is supremely superior to Paramatma and Brahman (aksara), so He is renowned as 'Purushottama'. Furthermore it is stated: brahmano hi pratisthaham amrtasya avyayasya ca in the Bhagavad Gita (14.27). He is the establishment or cause of the formless Brahman. The Supreme Lord is the greatest of the greatest, minutest of the minutest, and everything in between. The Supreme Lord has five extraordinary opulences: avicintya-maha-sakti (inconceivable absolute power), koti-brahmanda-vigraha (millions of universes are within Him), avataravali-bijam (He is the Prime cause of all avataras), hatari-sugati-dayakah (He can even bestow eternal welfare to the foes killed by Him), atmarama-ganakarsity (He can attract even self-contented emancipated souls).
