Translation
His flower garland is His material energy, comprising various combinations of the modes of nature. His yellow garment is the Vedic meters, and His sacred thread the syllable om composed of three sounds. In the form of His two shark-shaped earrings, the Lord carries the processes of Sāṅkhya and yoga, and His crown, bestowing fearlessness on the inhabitants of all the worlds, is the supreme position of Brahmaloka.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
His flower garland is his material energy, comprising various combinations of the modes of nature. His yellow garment is the Vedic meters, and his sacred thread is the syllable oṁ composed of three sounds. In the form of his two shark-shaped earrings, the Lord supports the processes of Sāṅkhya and yoga, and his crown, bestowing fearlessness on the inhabitants of all the worlds, is the supreme position of Brahmaloka.
The vibhūti of his garland is māyā, consisting of three guṇas. The vibhūti of his yellow cloth is the Vedic meters. The vibhūti of his sacred thread is known as oṁ. In this way the parts of the Lord are equated with vibhūtis in this world. Pārameṣṭhyam means Brahmaloka
