SUMMARY: Sri Hari, who is in five-dimensional form (Pancharupatmaka) like Narayana, is the Supreme God in this world that is made of five types of difference. The five-faced Gods like Shiva, Indra and others are his assistants; Tenets are twenty-five; and I remember every day that Brahma-designate Sri Anandatirtharu for paving the way to salvation (Moksha) by making us aware that there is difference between the Gods and deities and the demons.

The word for World in Kannada is “Prapancha” since this universe is made of Pancha or five elements. Further, it is made of five types of differences. They are: differences among living beings; difference between the life and the Lord; difference between animate and inanimate; difference among the inanimate and inanimate things and differences between the inanimate and the Lord. Basically, there is no similarity among Eshwara or the Lord, the animate and the inanimate. There are differences even among animate beings. There are differences among the solid or concrete or inanimate things too.

In Bhavishyatparva in Aitareyabhashya, it is mentioned:

Sri Narayana is the supreme Lord of this universe of integrated five types or elements and the corresponding forms are: Narayana, Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. Narayana is the original or primary form. The form of Vasudeva is to bestow salvation or Moksha; Pradyumna is for the creation of universe; Aniruddha is to protect the creation and Sankarshana is for destruction of the universe. However, there is absolutely no difference among these five forms.

The divine is Daivaka like Matsyakarupa or form of Matsyaka and Sookararupaka. There is only one God and he has not been created afresh. Narayana is not a designation or the title of any portfolio like

Lord Brahma and others, which is indicated by “Ka”, which means happiness or bliss. Therefore, the Lord is in the form of happiness namely Anandaswaroopa.

Some scholars treat the word as “Daiva kapanchamukhashakrAdigaLu kinkararu Sri Harige” (ದೈವ ಕಪಂಚಮುಖಶಕ್ರಾದಿಗಳು ಕಿಂಕರರು ಶ್ರೀಹರಿಗೆ). In such an event, “Ka” means or indicates that Brahma, Vayu, Rudra and Indra are all assistants of Lord Narayana. YEkaksharakosha mentions: “Kaha prajApatiruddiShTO kO VAyuriti shabditaha” (ಕಃ ಪ್ರಜಾಪತಿರುದ್ದಿಷ್ಟೋ ಕೋ ವಾಯುರಿತಿ ಶಬ್ದಿತಃ).

The word “Kinkara” with reference to Lord Brahma, Rudra, Vayu and other deities does not indicate that the BhrutyarUpa of Brahma, Vayu, Rudra, Indra and others is the kind of relationship that exists between a king and a servant but a kind of the relationship that exists between the father and his children. “Servant” is one of the meanings of Bhrutya. The relationship between Narayana and other deities is “Bimbakriyayaiva kriyavAn” (ಬಿಂಬಕ್ರಿಯಯೈವ ಕ್ರಿಯವಾನ್).
