In the Laghu-bhagavatamrta, Purva-khanda, verse 17, it is stated:
|
tadrso nyuna-saktim yo
vyanakti svamsa iritah saṅkarsanadir matsyadir yatha tat-tat-svadhamasu When a form of Krsna is nondifferent from the original form but is less important and exhibits less potency, it is called svamsa. Examples of the svamsa expansion can be found in the quadruple forms of the Lord residing in their respective places, beginning with Saṅkarsana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha and including the purusa-avataras, lila-avataras, manvantara-avataras and yuga-avataras.
