ṇaś⾱ (एकार्णवशायिन�) refers to one of the various Vibhava manifestations according to the Īśvarasaṃhitā 24.256-259.—Accordingly, “the omniscient Lord as a Puruṣa brings the four (elements) beginning with mind and ending with matter under His power, occupies the support of the earth, a product (of matter) or the ocean of qualities. He shall be thought of as seated on the bed of the serpent and as having the colour of gold. That God is Arṇavaśāyin, surrounded by the embodied discus and others, kneaded by Lakṣmī and overcome by sleep, fanned by Prīti and glorified by Vidyā�.

These Vibhavas (e.g., ṇaś⾱) represent the third of the five-fold manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness the Pāñcarātrins believe in. Note: This ܰ屹 (appearance) is called ṇaś⾱ or Ekārṇavasitaśāyin or Ekārṇambhonidhiśāyin. Arṇava means “sea�; Śāyin means “lying�; Eka means “only one�.
