The verse is composed almost entirely of turns from the Śvetāśvatara, and this is no coincidence: there too occur parāt param, kaviṃ purāṇam and sarveśvaram.
What matters is what follows the list.
Till now the chapter spoke of Brahman abstractly: “without qualities”, “solid consciousness”. Here words of another kind appear.
Puruṣa — “the Man, the Person”. Sarva-īśvara — “Lord of all”. And finally sarva-devair upāsyam — “worshipped by all the gods”.
The last settles the matter. Only one who receives worship can be worshipped. To an abstract principle one does not bow — one identifies with it.
Vaiṣṇava Vedānta sees here what it sees in the Śvetāśvatara: one and the same Reality is known both as impersonal radiance and as a Person, and the second is not lower than the first but fuller. Verse 4.69 spoke of nirguṇa; this one — of Him whose property nirguṇa is.
The sixth adhyāya will call Him by name.
