Rather, it is just like an actor entering the stage from the side wings, and disappearing later (He just comes into this nature from his\u00a0 superior nature paramapatham , and disappears from here in his form).<\/p>\n<p>Even in the mOksha dharma , <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a> himself\u00a0 declares thus: \u201cOh dhEvas! this form of mine with four arms is very special and this is how I am present in my supreme abode.
