1.3.143

[104] atra ca snigdhakaṇṭhenāntaś cintitam - satyam evāha sma nūnaṃ athāham aṃśabhāgena [BhP 10.29] iti hi māyāṃ prati śrī-bhagavad-vākyam ādiṣṭā prabhuṇāṃśena kāryārthe sambhaviṣyati [BhP 10.1.25] iti ca devān prati brahma-vacanam | atra aṃśabhāgena caturbhuja-rūpeṇākāra-bhedeneti bhagavad-abhiprāyaḥ | kāryārthe tat-tan-mohanāya aṃśena sambhaviṣyati śrī-kṛṣṇasya dvibhuja-rūpeṇākāra-bhedena saha miliṣyati seti brahmaṇo' bhiprāyaḥ | tad evam eva hi vyākhyātam anyatra śrī-bhāgavata-tattvavidbhiḥ avatīrṇau jagaty-arthe svāṃśena bala-keśavau [BhP 10.38.32] ity atra svāṃśena mūrti-bhedeneti |

[104] And here, Snigdhakaṇṭha thought within himself: "Truly it was said indeed: 'Then I, with my partial form' [BhP 10.2.9], which is the speech of the Lord to Māyā; and 'Having been instructed by the Lord, she will appear with a part for the sake of the mission' [BhP 10.1.25], which is the speech of Brahmā to the gods. Here, 'with my partial form' means 'in the form with four arms, by difference of appearance'—such was the intention of the Lord. 'She will appear with a part for the sake of the mission, for their bewilderment'—she will unite with the two-armed form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, which is a different manifestation: such was Brahmā's intention. For in this very manner it has been explained elsewhere by those who know the truth of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavata: on the verse, 'Bala and Keśava descended for the sake of the world by their own parts' [BhP 10.38.32], that 'by their own parts' means by difference of forms."
