Para-tattva is Bhagavan. Para-tattva means Krsna, Rama, Narayana, Visnu. These are para-tattva. Bhagavan avatara, rama, nrsimha, varaha, kurma, vamana, dasavatara, all avatara. (Hindi) Or sakti-tattva, material energy, apara-tattva, matter. Similarly cit-tattva, spiritual world. The living entities, although they are in the material world, they belong to the spiritual world. Therefore Krsna says, apareyam. This material energy is inferior. Itas viddhi me prakrtim param. Beyond this there is another, superior energy, jiva-bhuta, that is jiva.

Guest: ''Śakti'' in original is Rādhā?

Prabhupāda: Yes. ''Parāsya śaktih'' . . ., ''parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate'' (''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 6.8, [[vanisource:CC Madhya 13.65|CC Madhya 13.65, purport]]). (Hindi) Originally ''cit-śakti''. ''Cit-śakti''. That ''cit-śakti'' is expanding. Just like we are . . ., ''rāmādi mūrtiṣu kalā-niyamena tiṣṭhan'' (Bs. 5.39). ''Kalā'' means part and parcel. So we are also part and parcel, but we are very small part and parcel.

But ''rāmādi mūrti'', they are bigger part and parcel. Just like if you throw one brick on the floor, so there will be so many small particles, big particles, this particle, that par . . . They are all part and parcel of the brick, but one part, very small atomic part, and one big part, this part, this part, then this part, then this part. So all, Kṛṣṇa is the origin, and everyone is part and parcel. Some of them are bigger and some of them are smaller. So ''viṣṇu-tattva'' is almost like Kṛṣṇa.

Guest: Like Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Others, they are very small. So according to the size, or according to the power . . .

Guest: Power.

Prabhupāda:  . . .the part and parcel exercises his position. Some of them are ''viṣṇu-tattva'', some of them are jīva-tattva, some of them are ''śakti-tattva'' and some of them ''para-tattva''. Like that.

Guest: ''Para-tattva''?

Prabhupāda: ''Para-tattva''.

Guest: Means?

Prabhupāda: ''Para-tattva'' is Bhagavān. Para-tattva means Kṛṣṇa, Rāma, Nārāyaṇa, Viṣṇu. These are ''para-tattvas''. Bhagavān ''avatāra'', Rāmā, Nṛsiṁha, Varāha, Kūrma, Vāmana, ''daśāvatāra'', all ''avatāra''. (Hindi) Or ''śakti-tattva'', material energy, ''aparā-tattva'', matter. Similarly ''cit-tattva'', spiritual world. The living entities, although they are in the material world, they belong to the spiritual world. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, ''apareyam''. This material energy is inferior. ''Itas viddhi me prakṛtiṁ parām''. Beyond this there is another, superior energy, ''jīva-bhūta''. That is ''jīva''.
