  1. Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 3 Text 3-5 Purusha incarnations and material creation.

  2. Text 3 yasyävayava-saàsthänaiù 
kalpito loka-vistaraù 
tad vai bhagavato rüpaà 
viçuddhaà sattvam ürjitam It is believed that all the universal planetary systems are situated on the extensive body of the puruña, but He has nothing to do with the created material ingredients. His body is eternally in spiritual existence par excellence.

  3. Mahavishnu & material creation • The conception of the viräö-rüpaor viçva-rüpaof the Supreme Absolute Truth is especially meant for the neophyte who can hardly think of the transcendental form of the Personality of Godhead. • The potency of the Lord and the Lord are simulta-neously different and nondifferent. • The formation of His multifarious manifestations of incarnations is always of the same transcendental quality, without any touch of the mahat-tattva.

  4. Text 4 paçyanty ado rüpam adabhra-cakñuñä 
sahasra-pädoru-bhujänanädbhutam 
sahasra-mürdha-çravaëäkñi-näsikaà 
sahasra-mauly-ambara-kuëòalollasat The devotees, with their perfect eyes, see the transcendental form of the puruña who has thousands of legs, thighs, arms and faces-all extraordinary. In that body there are thousands of heads, ears, eyes and noses. They are decorated with thousands of helmets and glowing earrings and are adorned with garlands.

  5. Realizing the Supreme • With our present materialized senses we cannot perceive anything of the transcendental Lord. Our present senses are to be rectified by the process of devotional service, and then the Lord Himself becomes revealed to us. • In the Brahma-saàhitäalso it is said that the Lord is always visible to the devotees whose eyes have been anointed with the tinge of devotional service. • So only with patience and perseverance can we realize the transcendental subject matter regarding the Absolute Truth and His different forms.

  6. Text 5 etan nänävatäräëäà 
nidhänaà béjam avyayam 
yasyäàçäàçena såjyante 
deva-tiryaì-narädayaù This form [the second manifestation of the puruña] is the source and indestructible seed of multifarious incarnations within the universe. From the particles and portions of this form, different living entities, like demigods, men and others, are created.

  7. Six kinds of incarnation • Purusha incarnations – 3 Purushas • Guna incarnations – 3 guna avatars • Lila incarnations – innumerable • Manavantra incarnations – 14 Manus • Yuga incarnations – 4 different Yugas • Shaktyavesha incarntions – innumerable
