dui-ruipe haya bhagavdnera prakdsa

SYNONYMS

dui-rape—in two forms; haya—are; bhagavdnera—of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead; prakasa—manifestations; eke—in one; ta’—certainly; prakdsa—manifesta-
tion; haya—is; dre—in the other; ta’—certainly; vilasa—engaged in pastimes.

TRANSLATION

The Personality of Godhead exhibits Himself in two kinds of forms: prakasa
and vilasa.

PURPORT

The Supreme Lord expands His personal forms in two primary categories. The
prakasa forms are manifested by Lord Kegna for His pastimes, and their features
are exactly like His. When Lord Kegna married sixteen thousand queens in Dvaraka,
He did so in sixteen thousand prakasa expansions. Similarly, during the rdsa dance
He expanded Himself in identical prakasa forms to dance beside each and every
gopi simultaneously. When the Lord manifests His vi/asa expansions, however, they
are all somewhat different in their bodily features. Lord Balarama is the first
vildsa expansion of Lord Krsna, and the four-handed Narayana forms in Vaikuntha
expand from Balarama. There is no difference between the bodily forms of Sri
Krsna and Balarama except that Their bodily colors are different. Similarly, Srv
Narayana in Vaikuntha has four hands, whereas Krsna has only two. The expansions
of the Lord who manifest such bodily differences are known as vildsa-vigrahas.
