2. This is indeed the form of the Supreme Being which, by the manifestation of His essential force of Intelligence, is never approached by Tamas—the form which, in the beginning, He assumed for showing His grace to the righteous; which is the root (source) of hundreds of avataras. And from the lotus-mansion springing from His navel, I came into being.
