Previously it was said that the Lord was complete with sixteen parts. This verse shows that. Though he acts as the source (bijam), he is equal to many seeds. Therefore he is called a storeroom or treasure (nidhanam). He is the amsi, the source of the avataras who will be discussed in this chapter. And he is eternal (avyayam). His part is Brahma and Brahma’s parts are Marici and others. By them, the Lord creates the devatas and others. The devatas are considered the Lord’s vibhutis.
