(145) Jagadaadijah -One who had born (Jah) in the very beginning

(aadi) of the world (jagat) is called Jagadaadijah. At the time of

dissolution (Pralaya) when the entire gross and subtle bodies go to

lie absorbed in the Total Causal-body, the world, in Pralaya, lies

merged in Eesvara. Before the gross world-of-plurality emerges out

there should be a condition of subtle manifestation of it in the form

of thoughts. Thoughts constitute the mind-intellect; when the Infinite

functions through this Total Mind-intellect, It is called as

Hiranyagarba the womb of all objects, it is from the Hiranya garba-

state, the manifestation of the gross world emerges out, when the lord

comes to play as a Virat Aatmaa. Maha Vishnu is the one who was born

before the world of gross bodies, therefore it is indicated here that

he is the " Womb-of all- objects " in the world, the Hiranyagarba-the

very creator.
