This meaning emphasises the glory and beauty of the form of the enchanting Vishnu. The same term can also be interpreted as " Self-instrumental. " For the projection of the pluralistic phenomenal world, He has no instrument other than Himself. The Lord not only creates everything from Himself but He, Himself, is the instrumental cause for the world. We have already indicated earlier that in the making of anything, three causes must come into play, the " material-cause " (mud), the " instrumental-cause " (the pot-maker's wheel) and the " efficient- cause " (the intelligent pot maker). In the case of the creation of the universe all these three causes are intrinsically the Lord alone. Thus, He is the material, from which He creates the world by Himself. This idea is expressed here when the compelling beauty of the Lord's form is being indicated by the precious term " Self-instrumental.
