Interpretation
The omnipresent & omnipotent energy that courses through this Universe is the only primary, singular force
Lord Krishna manifested himself as Shyamsundar (beautiful, dark one), as well as Chakri (bearer of Sudarshan Chakra; a weapon of death) & Narasimha (ferocious lion-man who killed the rakshasa).
Similarly Shiva manifested as Somashankar (he who has a moon as an ornament) as well as the ferocious Bhairava & Rudra. Parvati incarnated as Haimavati (soft, pleasant one) as well as Kali & Chandika, the destroyers
Mankutimma, when you introspect on this, it will become evident that it is the same energy that has the power to influence God to manifest himself in contradictary forms...so also, man is influenced in his thoughts, emotions & actions by the same energy...so, energy is the only singular & all thoughts, emotions are just manifestations of this singular
