It is not mentioned for the reason that all the incarnations of the Lord as before mentioned are all transcendental and there is not a tinge of material touch in the bodies of such incarnations. There is no difference in the self and body of the Lord as there is difference of body and self in the conditioned soul. The Virata Rupa is conceived for those who are just grossly neophyte in the matter of worshiping the Lord. For them only the material Virata Rupa is presented as it will be explained in the 2nd canto of the book. In the Virata Rupa the material manifestations of different planets have been conceived as His legs, hands etc. Actually all such descriptions are for the facility of the neophytes. The neophytes cannot conceive anything beyond matter and as such the material conception of the Lord is not counted in the list of His factual forms. As Parmatma or the Super soul the Lord is within each and every material form even within the atoms but the outward material form is but imagination both for the Lord and the living being. The present form of the conditioned souls are also not factual. The conclusion is that material conception of the body of the Lord as Virata as well as for the conditioned souls are all imaginations. Both the Lord and the living beings are living spirits and have original spiritual bodies respectively. #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"##p class="mw-empty-elt"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_30"#TEXT 30#/span##/h4# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#etad rūpaṁ bhagavato#/dd# #dd#hy arūpasya cid-ātmanaḥ#/dd# #dd#māyā-guṇair viracitaṁ#/dd# #dd#mahadādibhir ātmani#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=etat&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#etat#/i# — all these; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=rūpam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#rūpam#/i# — forms; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=bhagavataḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#bhagavataḥ#/i# — of the Lord; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=hi&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#hi#/i# — certainly; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=arūpasya&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#arūpasya#/i# — of one who has no material form; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=cit&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#cit-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ātmanaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ātmanaḥ#/i# — of the Transcendence; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=māyā&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#māyā#/i# — material energy; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=guṇaiḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#guṇaiḥ#/i# — by the qualities; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=viracitam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#viracitam#/i# — manufactured; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=mahat&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#mahat-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ādibhiḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ādibhiḥ#/i# — with the ingredients of matter; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ātmani&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ātmani#/i# — in the self. #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# The conception of the virāṭ universal form of the Lord, as appearing in the material world, is imaginary.
