"The other, the most excellent person, called the Supreme Spirit,
"Is the undecaying Lord, who pervading sustains the three worlds.
"Since transcending the perishable, I am more excellent than the imperishable (soul),
"Hence I am celebrated among men and in the Veda as the best of persons (Purushottama);
"He who uninfatuated knows me thus the best of persons, he all-knowing worships me in every wise.
"Thus this most mysterious institute is declared, blameless (Arjuna):
"Knowing this a man may be wise, and may have done what he has to do, O Bhárata" (Bhagavad-gítá, xv. 16-20).
So in the Mahá-varáha—
"The primary purport of all the Vedas relates to the supreme spouse of Śrī;
"Its purport regarding the excellence of any other deity must be subordinate."
