Now, the feature, the body, is the same, but in different house with different devotees, the exchange of feelings is different. That is called vaibhava-prakasa. So it is a very complicated idea, which of them is vaibhava, which of them is prabhava, which of them is vilasa, which of them is tad-ekatma, avesa...
