Now, the question may be posed that if the Brahman is variegated, then how can divine opulences have 产谤补丑尘补蝉惫补谤奴辫补 (a constitutional nature of Brahman or spirit)?

There are many stories about Brahma鈥檚 four heads. He had five heads, possibly meaning the five elements or five Pr膩峁嘺s (辫谤腻峁嘺, 补辫腻苍补, 惫测腻苍补, 蝉补尘腻苍补 and 耻诲腻苍补) that are needed for creation. The fifth head was cut off by 艢iva for having shown disrespect to Him.
