In this stanza we understand the terms bhAvadvaita, dravyadvaita, kriyadvaita below.

 

bhAvadvaita:-

 

ParamAtma performs various sR^iShTi vyApara etc.. via mUla prakR^iti and the differences in the triguNa-s. Here mUla prkR^iti and the triguNa-s are kAraNa vastu and the resultant sR^iShTi is the kARya vastu. In the same way the fibres of a cloth are the kAraNa vastu and the cloth so formed is the kArya vastu. It appears as though they are the same, however they are different. The bhagavadrUpa existing in these kAraNa and kARya vastu-s are the same but their adhiShTAna is different. Meditating on the same aMtaRyAmi rUpa of the kAraNa and kARya vastu-s is called " bhAvadvaita " .

 

dravyAdvaita:-

 

Meditating on the aMtaRyami rUpa of ParamAtma in our wife (or husband), children, relatives, friends who are related to us by R^iNa  i.e. a bond persisting from an earlier birth. The bhagavadrUpa in us and them is indeed one and the same.

 

The wealth earned by us, our wife, children, relatives and friends are indeed 'dravya'. The process of unified meditation on this bhagavadrUpa and realizing that they are under His control is called " dravyAdvaita " .

 

kriyAdvaita:-

 

The trikaraNa-s, i.e. manas, vAk, and sharIra are the sources for kriya-s.

 

The manas is involved in dhyAna.

By vAk we speak, advise or read scriptures or stotra / maMtra or give pravachana.

 

By sharIra through the paMchaj~nAnEMdriya-s and paMchakaRmEMdriya-s we activate our senses and do various tasks.

 

Thus various kriya-s go on through the trikaraNa-s.

 

biMba rUpi ParamAtma performs tasks various via biMba kriya-s through the respective dEvata-s, regulated by mukhya prANa dEvaru and brings it for the experience of the jIva. Thus, offering all the kriya-s we perform to the feet of the Lord is kriyAdvaita. The adhiShThAna-s which perform various kriya-s are different but meditating on the bhagavadrUpa of ParamAtma who is the same in all the adhiShThAna-s and offering the resultant kaRma-s at the feet of the Lord is a sign of kriyAdvaita.  kriyadvaita is backed by the understanding that jIva, kaRma and jaDa-s are under His control.

 

We must therefore meditate on ParamAtma with the understanding that He is in control of bhAvadvaita, dravyAdvaita and kriyAdvaita and He is the Regulator, He does all the tasks, He is saRvataMtrasvataMtra, and all chetanAchtana-s are under His control. We must meditate on the rUpas of the all pervading ParamAtma pervades at all places, all times, and all conditions.

 

ParamAtma would grant His aparOxa to such devotees and make them happy and protect them. Just as gajEMdra was saved from the crocodile when he prayed with all His heart by offering the lotus from the same lake, where he was entangled with difficulty, in the same way kind ParamAtma would protect His devotees always.
