TRANSLATION
"Again the vilasa forms are divided into twofold categories-prabhava and vaibhava. Again the pastimes of these forms are of unlimited variety.
In the Laghu-bhagavatamrta, Pūrva-khanḍa, verse 17, it is stated:
tadrso nyūna-saktim yo
vyanakti svamsa iritaḥ
sahkarsanadir 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 Sahkarsana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha and including the purusa-avataras, lila-avataras, manvantara-avataras and yuga-avataras.
