This form is the soul of unlimited beings. It is the jīva in relation to Paramātmā. It is seen as the original avatāra. Within this form all living beings appear. For purifying the heart of the worshippers of Paramātmā, this form should first be worshipped. This form is the ātmā of unlimited beings, since the individual ātmās are parts of this form. This form is a jīva (aṁśa) belonging to Paramātmā (since paramātmā enters into it.) This form is the original avatāra, because the yogīs meditate on this form being one with its antaryāmī, Paramātmā. All creatures such as devatās and men (bhūta-gramaḥ) manifest within this form.
