Imported quote 13318 There are different types of incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the sastras it is said that Garuḍa, the carrier of Lord Visnu, and Lord Siva and Ananta are all very powerful incarnations of the Brahman feature of the Lord. Similarly, Sacipati, or Indra, the King of heaven, is an incarnation of the lusty feature of the Lord. Aniruddha is an incarnation of the Lord's mind. Similarly, King Prthu is an incarnation of the ruling force of the Lord. Thus the saintly persons and great sages predicted the future activities of King Prthu, who was already explained as a partial incarnation of the plenary expansion of the Lord.
