� The kAraNa SarIra aspect is reflected in the memories acquired
from previous births.
An example of this is the knowledge that a child has as soon as it is born, that
by crying it will get milk, by sucking at the mother’s breast it will be fed, etc.
The viSva, taijasa, and prAj~na are the states of the jIva associated with the
sthUla, sUkshma, and kArANa SarIra-s. These are also associated with the
person in the waking, dream, or sleep states. In all the above states, the jIva
wrongly considers that the sarIra belongs to “It”, and has the feeling of
ownership for its body etc. When the jIva realizes the truth and passes
beyond this feeling of “I” ness, this state is the turIya state.
SrI kRshNa datta bhAradvAj refers to His four forms in SrI vaikunTha,
satyaloka, Sveta dvIpa, and kshIrAbdhi respectively. He quotes the following
insupport:
vaikunThe prathamA mUrtih satya loke tathA’parrA |
Sveta dvIpe tRtIyA ca caturthI kshIra sAgare ||
nAma 772. ctubaRhu> catur catur-bAhuh
catur bAhuh
The Four-armed.
catur-bAhave namah.
This nAma is equivalent to the nAma 142 (Slokam 15) – catur-bhujah. It has
been pointed out earlier that SrI BhaTTar interprets different groups of
nAma-s as connected to each other in a string that describes a particular form
or incarnation of bhagavAn. nAma 142 occurs in the segment where he
describes bhagavAn’s vyUha incarnations, and the current nAma (772) is in the
segment where he is having anubhavam of the vibhava incarnation of Lord
kRshNa. Correspondingly, his interpretation of nAma 142 refers to bhagavAn's
vyUha incarnation with four arms, and the current interpretation refers to His
vibhava incarnation in His birth to devaki as child kRshNa with four arms.
Several references are given under both the nAma-s in support.
Under nAma 142 in Slokam 15, catur-bhujah, SrI BhaTTar gives the following
