In the reservoir of water first created by the perspiration of Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, the Lord lies on the Śeṣa plenary expansion of Viṣṇu, who is described in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and in the four Vedas as follows:

<div class="quote_verse">
:sahasra-śīrṣā puruṣaḥ sahasrākṣaḥ sahasra-pāt</dd><dd>sa bhūmiṁ viśvato vṛtvātyatiṣṭhad daśāṅgulam
</div>

The Viṣṇu form called Ananta-śayana has thousands of hands and legs and thousands of eyes, and He is the active generator of all the incarnations within the material world.
