The Lord is unborn (ajam). Thus He is different from material things, which are unconscious, and different from any class of living being in the universe, since all entities are born with material bodies which have a beginning and an end. The Lord is without beginning (anādi). Thus He is different from all the sādhana siddhas, since their liberated state had a beginning and they had material bodies previously to being liberated. He is loka-maheśvaram, the great lord of all planets. Thus He is different from the nitya siddhas as well as from prakṛti and time.

Although all these have no birth and no beginning, they do not have lordship over all the worlds. Brahma and Śiva are also lords of the worlds, but Kṛṣṇa’s lordship is without beginning. Thus, he who knows that Kṛṣṇa is distinguished from all others by His eternal lack of contact with bad qualities (no birth and no beginning) and by eternal possession of all extraordinary powers (lordship over all worlds) becomes freed from all karmas, which act as an obstacle to the appearance of devotion to Him. Such a person is not bewildered thinking that knowledge of something else is knowledge of Kṛṣṇa. For example he accepts that Kṛṣṇa can be born from Devakī without giving up His status as unborn.
