এ সবার দর্শনেতে আছে মায়াগন্ধ ।

e sabhāra darśanete āche māyā-gandha
turīya kṛṣṇera nāhi māyāra sambandha

Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The three puruṣas have a relationship with māyā because through her They create the material cosmos.
Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu is the Supersoul of the collective universes; Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, of the collective living beings; and Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, of all individual living entities.
Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself is not even slightly tinged by māyā. His transcendental state is called turīya, or the fourth-dimensional stage.
