Lord Nārāyana, the four primary expansions [Vāsudeva, Sańkarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha], Matsya and the other līlā incarnations, the yuga-avatāras, the manv-antara incarnations and as many other incarnations as there are — all descend in the body of Lord Krishna. In this way the complete Supreme Godhead, Lord Krishna Himself, appears.
