Master is one, Krsna. There cannot be two masters. The master can expand Himself as masters. That is another thing. The master is one. Advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam [Bs. 5.33]. Ananta-rupam. The master can expand Himself in many, many thousands and millions of forms, but they are advaita. They are not different. So there are different types of expansion of Krsna. They are called vibhinnamsa, svamsa. Krsna expands Himself svamsa. That is Visnu-tattva. That is advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam [Bs. 5.33]. Then vibhinnamsa: mamaivamso jiva-bhutah [Bg. 15.7]. Jiva also expansion of Krsna. We are also expansion of Krsna, but we are vibhinnamsa, separated forms. And svamsa, Visnu-tattva, that is one. So in this way we have to understand Krsna's expansion.
