Description

“Thus blessing Brahmā and Viṣṇu who had been made humble, the Lord resuscitated by His nectar-like power all the soldiers of the two deities that had been killed in the battle before, and spoke to them to remove their foolishness and mutual enmity: ‘I have two forms: the manifest and the unmanifest. No one else has these two forms. Hence all others are non-Īśvaras. Dear sons, first in the form of the column and afterwards in this embodied form I have expounded to you my formless Brahma-nature, and embodied Īśa-nature. These two are present only in Me and not in anyone else. Hence no one else—not even you two—can claim īśatva (Īśvara-nature). It is out of your ignorance of this fact that you were swept away by your false prestige and pride, surprising as it is. I rose up in the middle of the battlefield for quelling the same.”
