tataḥ saṅkarṣaṇaḥ proktastatvajñāna viśāradaiḥ.
prativyūhena tiṣṭhanti sadevāsurarākṣasāḥ .. 248.47 ..
You are Vâsudeva, for at the end of the ages Brahmâ and other Devas rest in you, as well as on account of your Omnipresence in all the beings. You absorb everything by drawing them unto you at the end of each Kalpa, that is why you are named Samkarsana You are Pradyumna, for the Devas, the demons are sustained in their respective orders and taught duties by you. You are Aniruddha, for there is none other in the creation that can act as a brake on all the beings. You bear the whole universe, you annihilate it, I only hold what is held by your glory. I can never hold anything which you do not hold yourself.—45-51
