nanavatdram akarod bhuvanesu kintu

krsnah svayam samabhavat paramah puman yo
govindam ddi-purusam tam aham bhajami

The Lord is situated as Himself, Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, and He is accompanied by His expansions like Lord Rama.
Baladeva. Sankarsana, Narayana, Maha-Visnu and so forth. The devotees
worship all these forms according to their liking, and the Lord, out of His
affection. presents Himself as arcd-vigraha. He sometimes presents
Himself personally before the devotee out of reciprocation or affection. A
devotee is always fully surrendered to the loving service of the Lord. and
the Lord is visible to the devotee according to the devotee’s desires. He
may be present in the form of Lord Rama. Lord Krsna. Lord
Nrsirnhadeva and so on. Such is the exchange of love between the Lord
and His devotees.
