In plain words
Because He possesses supreme subtlety, He is Anu, as the Shruti declares: 'This subtle Self is to be known by the mind.' And because He is vast, He is Brahman: 'Greater than the great,' according to scripture. The term Kṛśa ('lean') is used because grossness and material substantiality are denied by texts such as 'Not gross.' The term Sthūla ('gross') is only applied metaphorically because He is the Self of all. As the presiding controller over the creation, maintenance, and dissolution enacted by sattva, rajas, and tamas, He is Guṇabhṛt. Yet in absolute reality, because attributes do not exist in Him, He is Nirguṇa, as the Shruti states: 'Pure and without attributes.' Because His absolute subtlety and freedom from sound and other sensible qualities make Him impossible to define even through logic—being eternally pure and omnipresent—He is Mahan. As Apastamba states: 'Bodiless, soundless, formless, touchless, great, and pure.' Because He supports even the supporters of earth and is sustained by nothing else, He is Adhṛta. When the question arises—'If so, by what is He supported?'—the answer is given: 'He is sustained by His own Self,' confirming the Shruti: 'O venerable one, wherein is He established? In His own glory.' Because His countenance is as charming and copper-red as the inside of a lotus, or because the vast Vedic sound-treasure issued from His mouth to instruct humanity, He is Svasya. Others have later, derivative lineages; His lineage—the cosmic manifestation—is primordial, not subsequent, hence He is Māgvamsa. By expanding or dissolving the cosmic tree, He is Vaṁśavardhana.
Close to the Sanskrit
Because of possessing supreme subtlety, Anu, from the shruti 'This subtle Atman is to be known by the mind.' And from being vast vehicle, Brahman is vast, 'greater than the great,' from the shruti. From the denial of substantiality through 'not gross' etc., Kṛśa. Sthūla is applied metaphorically because He is the Self of all. Because He presides over the acts of creation, preservation, and dissolution of sattva, rajas, and tamas, Guṇabhṛt. In reality, due to the absence of gunas, Nirguṇa, from the shruti 'Pure and attributeless.' Because He cannot be described even through logic owing to His lacking sound and other qualities and His unsurpassable subtlety, eternally pure, omnipresent nature etc., therefore Mahan. 'Bodiless, soundless, formless, touchless, and great and pure,' thus Apastamba. Because He is the supporter even of the supporters of earth etc., and is not supported by anyone, Adhṛta. Raising the doubt—if this is so, by whom is He supported?—he replies: 'Supported by His own Self indeed,' from the shruti 'O venerable one, wherein is He established? In His own glory.' Auspicious is His mouth, copper-red like the inside of a lotus and extremely beautiful, thus Svasya; or because the great mass of sound which is the Veda emanated from His mouth for instructing on human goals, Svasya, from the shruti 'Of this great Being...' Other people have subsequent lineages; His lineage, manifestation, is prior, not subsequent, hence Māgvamsa. Expanding or cutting the cosmic lineage, Vaṁśavardhana.
