"The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vishnu, possesses His superior internal potency as well as the potency called kshetrajna sakti. This kshetrajna sakti is also spiritual potency, but it is sometimes covered by the third, or material, potency called ignorance. Thus because of the various stages of covering, the second, or marginal, potency is manifested in different evolutionary phases."
