"Maharaja Pariksit, who could fight one thousand enemies singlehandedly, thus pacified the personality of religion and the earth. Then he took up his sharp sword to kill the personality of Kali, who is the cause of all irreligion." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.17.28)

nta rhitendriyarthaya haraye vihitanjalih sarva-bhutamayo visvam sasarjedam sa purvavat.
"On the disappearance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, who is the object of transcendental enjoyment for the senses of devotees, Brahma, with folded hands, began to re-create the universe, full with living entities, as it was previously." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.9.39)

inho mahat-srasta purusa -- `maha-visnu' nama ananta brahmanda tanra loma-kupe dhama gavakse udiya yaiche renu ase yaya purusa-nisvasa-saha brahmanda bahiraya punarapi nisvasa-saha yaya abhyantara ananta aisvarya tanra, saba--maya-para

"The first form of Lord Visnu is called Maha-Visnu. He is the original creator of the total material energy. The innumerable universes emanate from the pores of His body. These universes are understood to be floating in air as the Maha-Visnu exhales. They are like atomic particles that float in sunshine and pass through the holes of a screen. All these universes are thus created by the exhalation of Maha-Visnu, and when Maha-Visnu inhales, they return to His body. The unlimited opulences of Maha-Visnu are completeIy beyond material conception." (Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila 278-280)

panthas tu koti-sata-vatsara-sampragamyo vayor athapi manaso muni-pungavanam so 'py asti yat-prapada-simny avicintya-tattve govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami

"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, only the tip of the toe of whose lotus feet is approached by the yogis who aspire after the transcendental and betake themselves to pranayama by drilling the respiration; or by the jnanis who try to find out the non differentiated Brahman by the process of elimination of the mundane, extending over thousands of millions of years." (Brahma-samhita 5.34)

The Supreme Godhead is unconquerable; no one can conquer the Lord. But He voluntarily accepts subordination to the devotional qualities of His devotees. For example, Lord Krishna accepted subordination to the control of mother Yasoda because she was a great devotee. The Lord likes to be under the control of His devotees. In the Caitanya-caritamrta it is said that everyone comes before the Lord and offers Him exalted prayers, but the Lord does not feel as pleased when offered such prayers as He does when a devotee, out of pure love, chastises Him as a subordinate.
