SUMMARY: The various forms of husband of Rama Devi Sri Hari appear similar to one another like the pictures of nine women arranged in a particular manner. Known as Avayava, the Lord exists in all organs separately or severally, though he shines to be different from each other. Being the Lord whose shape or form never deteriorates and changes, he shines brightly and he is called as Virat in this Brahmanda/Universe.

The word “Navanareekunjara” refers to the depiction of nine women in an artwork that is reminiscent of nine elephants. If seen separately, they look like nine women and if seen together, it looks like an elephant. This expression symbolically indicates that Sri Hari is everywhere (Omnipresent)

YOgadeepika explains:

HastapAdOdarAdyangAm navanAryO gajAtmanA|

YEkasyAha pratimAyAshcha hastAdyEvam parAstaThA||

हस्तापदॊदराद्यन्गां नवनार्यॊ गजात्मना।

ऎकस्याः प्रतिमायाश्च हस्ताद्यॆवम् परास्तथा॥

“VirAT” means “V + rAT” or an exemplary, extraordinary king; it also means a Lord named Virat, who is occupying the entire Brahmanda.

Further:

VirAD VishNurEva| … sa virADaDhirAjanAt iti||ChAndOgyaBhAShya||

विराड् विष्णुरॆव।… स विराडधिराजनात् इति॥छान्दॊग्यभाष्य॥

Padmaja means one born from the Lotus, Lord Brahma and therefore PadmajAnDa means Brahmanda or the universe.

SUMMARY: In this Universe, the shapes or forms and qualities of Sri Hari, who is LakshmeenArasihma, are filled like the tides or waves in the sea. They are existing as KAraNa (cause), Amsha (part), AvEsha (Charge), VyApta (all pervasive), Avatara (incarnation), KArya (Action), Avyakta (invisible), ViBhUti (Holy Ash) and AntaryAmi (intrinsic).

Even though the ocean is covered with innumerable tides or waves, it is known as one sea or one ocean. Similarly, even though Sri Hari assumes innumerable forms or shapes, he remains the Supreme Lord Narayana, Lord Vishnu.

KAraNa refers to the cause or the form that Sri Hari takes in the five elements. Incarnations refers to the various incarnations of Lord Vishnu like Srirama, Sri Krishna, Sri Vedavyasa and so on. Vyapta refers to his most comprehensive form called VirADrUpa. Avyakta refers to the principles of being invisible and Vyakta refers to twenty-four principles or philosophies.
