Inspired by the energy Shri, Vishnu divided himself four-fold. He assumed four forms (the
three additional ones) named Sankarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. (That is He retained
one imperceptible form of himself and assumed three others forms which were respectively
conjoined with the three shaktis. And thus he became perceptible.)
Lord Vishnu, accompanied by the power Tamas, became Sankarshana. He became Pradyumna
accompanied by Rajas and Aniruddha accompanied by Sattva.
( )
Mahattattva emerged from Sankarshana. Ahamkara emerged from Pradyumna. From Aniruddha
emerged the form of Brahmahamkara.
All energies are present in all forms but each form is dominated by its own power.
Ahamkara divided itself three-fold and permeated everything. Saatvika, Rajasik and Taamasik
– these were the three divisions of Ahamkara.
The gods emerged from Vikara (sattva), the sense organs emerged from Tejas (Rajas) and the
five elements sky etc emerged from Tamas together with their own powers.
Vishnu, accompanied with the power Shri, always protects the world; accompanied by the
power Bhoo he creates and accompanied by the power Nila he destroys.

The Supreme Soul resides in all the beings. O Brahmin! 1 Whatever exists is situated in the
Supreme Soul.
1 CS: The word is BrahmasthitaM. So perhaps what this means is that whatever exists in this loka is the
absolute one that is the Parmaatmaa.
