Lord Śiva

Expansion of the Supreme Lord for the purpose of expanding the material creation. In Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā 5.45 it is described that just as milk transforms into yoghurt by the influence of a sour substance, Lord Śiva manifests from the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa, or Govinda, and as a result is neither the same nor different from Him.
