1.12 ANTARYAMIN AND ARCA鈥擳he fourth form is that of the in dweller (Antaryamin). The three gems, the Sattvata, the Pauskara and the Jayakhya samhita do not mention this fourth form. The Laksmi Tantra mentions this form¹ and the Ahirbudhnya Samhita contains a similar reference. This form is referred to as antaratman in Laksmi Tantra. Probably the Laksmi Tantra and the Ahirbudhnya Samhita are earlier Pancaratra texts and thus include this form of antaryamin in the list of the forms of Visnu. Perhaps, a sloka from the Samhita suggests the name pancaratra to stand for para, vyuha, vibhava and svabhava to account for the name Pancaratra². Thus, it seems that the concept of antaryamin came to be included under the influence of the passage in 1. 2. 12 antaryami niyanta ca Lakshmitantra L 7b Ch.50 Vide: "tat para vyuha vibhava svabhavadi nirupanam pancaratriyam tantram - Ahirbudhnya-samhita XI.63b 64a. 44

Arca is the fifth form of Visnu and it is that form which is 2 installed in temples. It is called arca, pratima,³ vigraha,4 S murti, bimba and bera. 6 The Para form is like water around the universe, the vyuha form is like the milky ocean, the vibhava form is like water in the floods of the rivers, the antaryami form is like the water deep inside the earth, and the arca form is like the water that oozes in the small puddles on river banks or on the sea shore. 1.
