Gīta Bhāshya 14.26
The word 'bhūyāya' means 'bhāvāya', i.e. to achieve a purity of emotion and intent, aligning with divine qualities. Thus, the word 'brahmabhūyam', means becoming dear to the Lord, similar to Lord Brahma or goddess Prakrti.
brahmavat prakṛtivat bhagavatpriyatvaṃ brahmabhūyam। na tu tāvatpriyatvam। kintu priyatvamātram।
The word 'brahmabhūyam', means becoming dear to the Lord, similar to Lord Brahma or goddess Prakrti. It does not mean the same dearness (as that of Lord Brahma or goddess Prakrti), but in a limited sense.
"baddhā vāpi tu muktā vā na ramāvat priyā hareḥ॥"
"Whether bound or liberated, one is never as dear to Hari as Ramā (i.e. Prakrti) is."

Gīta Tātparya 14.26
One who ends the bondage created by that (Prakrti) for the sake of attaining that greater Lord Vishnu is said to 'transcend'. After transcending the three qualities, one seeks the grace of the goddess Mahalakshmi. Blessed by her, he becomes a devotee of Vishnu and attains the abode of Lord Vishnu.
"lakṣmyādibhiḥ kṛto bandho yo'nādiḥ puruṣasya tu। tamatyetīha yo vidvān sa vijñeyo guṇātyayī॥"
"The wise one, who transcends the beginningless bondage created by Lakshmi, i.e. Prakrti, and others for the being, is known to be beyond the qualities in this world itself."

brahmaṇi bhūyaṃ brahmabhūyam। brahmeti prakṛtā mahālakṣmīḥ।
The word 'brahmabhūyam', means becoming more in Brahman. The goddess Lakshmi, reprasenting Prakrti is also considered to be in Brahma.
"atītya trīṇi rūpāṇi mahālakṣmīṃ prapadyate। tayā tvanugṛhīto'sau vaiṣṇavo viṣṇugo bhavet॥"
