Text 30] The Appearance of the Demon Vṛtrāsura
121
To generate the universe, the Lord acts indirectly as the  puruṣa  and directly as the  prakṛti . Because both energies emanate from Lord Vāsudeva, the all-pervasive Supreme Personality of Godhead, He is known as both  prakṛti  and  puruṣa . Therefore Vāsudeva is the cause of everything ( sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam ).
