Although an incarnation of the material energy, Lord BrahmÄ is nonetheless the director of the material mode of passion. Similarly, Lord Ĺiva, although simultaneously one with and different from Lord KášášŁáša, is still the incarnation of the mode of darkness. However, Lord Viᚣášu is KášášŁášaâs personal expansion; therefore He is the director of the mode of goodness and is always transcendentally situated, beyond the jurisdiction of the modes of material nature. Lord Viᚣášu is the original personal expansion of KášášŁáša, and KášášŁáša is the original source of all incarnations. As far as power is concerned, Lord Viᚣášu is as powerful as Lord KášášŁáša because He possesses all the opulences.
