sisṛkṣā nāma tadrūpā sṛṣṭimiṣṭāṁ karomyaham |

ekāṁśena viśuddhādhvarūpā varte'hamañjasā || 5||

The above minutest form has a wish to create(sisruksha) and with the thought "I will create the worlds as per my wishes". With that one part, which is very pure, I create variety of things immediately / uninterrupted

एवं शुद्धमयो मार्गो मम स्फुरति सर्वतः॥ ६॥

vajraratnaprabhā yadvatparisphurati sarvataḥ |

मम रूपममी देवाः पुरुषाः पुष्करेक्षणाः॥ ११॥

sṛṣṭisthityantakartāro vijñānaiśvaryaśaktayaḥ |

The three devas ,great purushas with lotus eyes, doers of creation, maintenance and annihilation are made of exalted knowledge, divine riches and power respectively

ataraṅgārṇavābhāsamastāmbhodāmbaropamam |

rūpaṁ sisṛkṣamāṇāyā vāsudevo mamādimam ||12||

When my wish to create the worlds comes up, I take my base form known as Vasudeva which is tranquil like waveless(ataranga) ocean(aarnava) and as pure as cloudless sky

ज्ञानशक्तिबलैश्वर्यवीर्यतेजांस्यशेषतः।

teṣāṁ jñānabalonmeṣe saṁkarṣaṇa udīryate |

balamityeva tannāma tato vedāntaśabditam |

vīryaiśvaryasamunmeṣe pradyumnaḥ parikīrtitaḥ || 15 ||

In vedantas , the prefix "BALA" always refers to Sankarshana. When viryam and aiswaryam are manifest while waking that form is known as Pradhyumna

Tejas is also known to be indifferent(anpeksha) and unobstructable(aniruddha). All the sastras exists only in Samkarshana like the thunder in a thunderstorm

tatkriyā sakalā devātpradyumnāt saṁbhavedyataḥ |

kriyāphalamaśeṣaṁ tadaniruddhātpracakṣate || 18 ||

All the karmas as ordained in sastras come from Pradyumna. The fruits of those karmas are bestowed by Aniruddha.

सृजते ह्यनिरुद्धोऽत्र प्रद्युम्नः पाति तत्कृतम्।

सृष्टं तद्रक्षितं चात्ति स च संकर्षणः प्रभुः॥१९॥

sṛjate hyaniruddho'tra pradyumnaḥ pāti tatkṛtam |

sṛṣṭaṁ tadrakṣietaṁ cātti sa ca saṁkarṣaṇaḥ prabhuḥ||19 ||

Srishti is by aniruddha and exists / carried / protected by Pradyumna. Samkarshana is the destroyer / eater(atti) of the protected srushti (At pralaya kalam)

सृष्टिस्थित्यन्तकार्येण शास्त्रधर्मफलेन च।

अनुग्रहमिमे देवाः सदा विदधते स्वयम्॥ २०॥

sṛṣṭisthityantakāryeṇa śāstradharmaphalena ca |

anugrahamime devāḥ sadā vidadhate svayam || 20 ||

As explained in sastras, these three devas are continuously doing the work of srushti, sthiti and samhara as a favour

यद्यप्येकगुणोन्मेषस्तथाप्येते हि षड्गुणाः।

अन्यूनानधिकाः सर्वे वासुदेवात्सनातनात्॥२१॥

yadyapyekaguṇonmeṣastathāpyete hi ṣaḍguṇāḥ |

anyūnānadhikāḥ sarve vāsudevātsanātanāt ||21||

In each of these three vyuhas one or other of my six gunas are manifest. Hence they are equal (neither deficient nor excessive(ana una adhika)) to SriVasudeva

अङ्गप्रत्यङ्गबुद्ध्यादिर्नैषां भूतमयः स्मृतः।

षाड्गुण्यमय एवैषां दिव्यो देहः सनातनः॥२२॥

aṅgapratyaṅgabuddhyādirnaiṣāṁ bhūtamayaḥ smṛtaḥ |

ṣāḍguṇyamaya evaiṣāṁ divyo dehaḥ sanātanaḥ ||22||

The body and limbs as well as their intellect etc of these devas are not made of ordinary earthly matter. Their divine body is ancient and everlasting and made of the six divine gunas

तत्तत्कार्यप्रसिद्ध्यर्थं कृतोऽसौ कल्पनावशात्॥२३॥

naivaiṣāṁ vāstavo bhedaścintanīyo divaspate |

tattatkāryaprasiddhyarthaṁ kṛto'sau kalpanāvaśāt||23||

Lord of Heaven(divaspate), In reality there is nothing to investigate the difference between them.( there is in reality no differences). To explain the various functions and actions, differences between the vyuhas are imagined

jñānānnānyattathaiśvaryaṁ tasmānnānyā ca śaktikā |

mayaitāḥ kalpitāḥ śakra dhyānaviśrāmabhūmayaḥ ||24||

There is no difference(naanya) between jnana and aiswaryam. Similarly there is no difference between aiswaryam and sakthi. My all these invented forms, O chakra, are worthy of meditation and are tranquil in nature
