When you protect all the worlds during the time of deluge by keeping them in your stomach, you choose the stomach of one of the jIvAthmAs protected by you and incarnate as her son; how amazing is this!

The opinion here is that when the jIvAthmAs, during the time when they do not know you, ignore you, you sustain them through your <em>svarUpam<\/em> (basic nature) by being their indwelling soul, protecting them. When they learn about you and turn towards you favourably, you manifest your divine, auspicious form and protect them such that they could meditate on you.
