'Listen, O Partha, to this secret and ancient history as it is, O sinless one! I have four forms, eternally engaged as I am in protecting the worlds. Dividing my own Self, I ordain the good of the worlds.
- One form of mine, staying on the earth, is engaged in the practice of ascetic austerities.
- Another beholdeth the good and the evil deeds in the world.
- My third form, coming into the world of men, is engaged in action.
- My fourth form lieth down in sleep for a thousand years.
