Now the description of prakāśa manifestation and vilāsa manifestation are described in this way; now, His plenary portions, how they are named.
- saṅkarṣaṇa, matsyādika—dui bheda tāṅra
- saṅkarṣaṇa—puruṣāvatāra līlāvatāra āra
- (CC Madhya 20.244)
Saṅkarṣaṇa and incarnation . . . Saṅkarṣaṇa, from Saṅkarṣaṇa, there are three expansion. They are called Viṣṇu—Mahā-Viṣṇu . . . Mahā-Viṣṇu, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu and Kṣirodakaśāyī Viṣṇu—from Saṅkarṣaṇa. Mahā-Viṣṇu . . . when the material world is created, the Mahā-Viṣṇu expansion is there. From Mahā-Viṣṇu, all these universes are generated. And from Mahā-Viṣṇu, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu is expanded. This Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu enters into each universe, and then, in each universe, from Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu is expanded.
That Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu has a planet within this universe near the polestar. And from that Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, the expansion Paramātmā is distributed in everyone's heart.
- īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
- hṛd-deśe arjuna tiṣṭhati
- (BG 18.61).
That Viṣṇu-mūrti is expanded from the Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu within this material world. The Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu is also within this material universe. And both, all these Viṣṇu-mūrti . . . one Viṣṇu-mūrti is the Mahā-Viṣṇu.
- yasyaika-niśvasita-kālam athāvalambya
- jīvanti loma-vilajā jagad-aṇḍa-nāthāḥ
- (Bs 5.48)
From Maha-Viṣṇu, all these universes are being generated, niśyaika-kāla, when He, Mahā-Viṣṇu, is lying in the Causal Ocean, and from His breathing all these universes are being generated. Then they expand, and then Mahā-Viṣṇu enters in each universe as Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu.
And Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu . . . these pictures are there. You have seen. And from Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu . . . from Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu there is expansion of Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. From Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu the Paramātmā, or the expansion of Supersoul in every living entity, that is expanded.
