TEXT 112
অবতারীর দেহে সব অবতারের স্থিতি । কেহো কোনমতে কহে, যেমন যার মতি ॥ ১১২ ॥
avatārīra dehe saba avatārera sthiti keho kona-mate kahe, yemana yāra mati
SYNONYMS
avatārīra —of the source;  dehe —in the body;  saba —all;  avatārera —of the incarnations;  sthiti —existence;  keho —someone;  kona-mate —in some way;  kahe —says;  yemana —as in the manner;  yāra —of whom;  mati —the opinion.
TRANSLATION
All other incarnations are potentially situated in the original body of the primeval Lord. Thus according to one's opinion, one may address Him as any one of the incarnations.
PURPORT
It is not contradictory for a devotee to call the Supreme Lord by any one of the various names of His plenary expansions because the original Personality of Godhead includes all such categories. Since the plenary expansions exist within the original person, one may call Him by any of these names. In the  Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata  ( Madhya  6.95) Lord Caitanya says, "I was lying asleep in the ocean of milk, but I was awakened by the call of Nāḍā, Śrī Advaita Prabhu." Here the Lord refers to His form as  Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu .
