Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

In this verse the Supreme Lord Krishna confirms His position as  Purusottama
the Supreme Being of all existence by His  validation  of  transcendence  to
both the ksarah or perishable and aksarah or imperishable;  along  with  all
jivas or embodied beings  in  bondage  as  well  as   those  liberated  from
samsara or the perpetual cycle  of  birth  and  death.  Therfore  throughout
creation and in the  Vedic  scriptures  He  is  celebrated  and  reknown  as
Purusottama.  The  Brihadaranya  Upanisad  V.VI.I  beginning   manomayo-ayam
puruso states: The resplendent supreme being is the ruler and  lord  of  all
governing all that exists.

Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The reality  of  the  Supreme  Lord  Krishnas  transcendence  to  both  the
ksarah or perishable which includes all  jivas or embodied  beings  as  well
as aksarah or imperishable including all the atmas or immortal souls. He  is
celebrated and gloridied as Purusottama the Supreme  Being.  The  word  loke
obviously means worlds but due to its proximity to vede  meaning  the  Vedas
it can refer to the smritis such as the Vishnu Purana  V.XVII.XXXIII  which
states: Incarnations of Purusottama descending from  Vishnu  are  without  a
beginning, middle or end. An example from sruti is  the  Chandogya  Upanisad
VIII.XII.III beginning: evamevaisa samprasado asma charirat samuthaya  param
states: Achieving liberation the spiritsoul  attains  a  glorious  effulgent
form revelling in its position at the feet  of  the  Supreme  Being.  So  in
conclusion  loke  vede  can  mean  that  the  Supreme  Lord  celebrated   as
Purusottama  is glorified in both sections of the Vedic scriptures known  as
sruti and smriti and it can mean that He is glorifeied in all the worlds.
