(138) Chaturvyoohah -One who manifests into the four mighty powers

(Vyooha). The Truth, that plays thus Himself in these four levels

having apparently created the world of experiences, is Vishnu, the All-

Pervading. According to the Vaishnava literature, for the purpose of

creation, Maha Vishnu Himself became four mighty powers (Vyooha) and

they were called Vaasudeva, Samkarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. One

who has Himself these four mighty powers, necessary for the conduct of

plurality, is the Great Self, Maha Vishnu.
