'''Garbhodakaśāyī Vishnu''' is an expansion of [[Mahavishnu|Mahā Vishnu]]. In [[Gaudiya Vaishnavism|Gaudīya Vaishnavism]] the Sātvata-tantra describes three different forms of Vishnu as: [[Maha Vishnu|Mahā Vishnu]], Garbhodakaśāyī Vishnu and [[Ksirodakasayi Vishnu|Ksirodakaśāyī Vishnu]] ([[Paramatma|Paramātmā]]). Each form has a different role in the maintenance of the Universe and its inhabitants.<br />
<br />
"For material creation, Lord [[Krishna]]'s plenary expansion assumes three Vishnus. The first, [[Mahavishnu|Mahā Viṣhṇu]], creates the total material energy, known as the mahat-tattva. The second, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, enters into all the [[universes]] to create diversities and the third, [[Ksirodakasayi Vishnu|Kṣīrodakaśāyī Vishnu]], is diffused as the all-pervading super soul in all the universes; in the heart of every living being, is known as Paramātmā. He is present even within the [[atom]]s.The goal of life is to know Kṛṣṇa, who is situated within the heart of every living being as Paramātmā, the four-handed Viṣṇu form. <ref>{{cite web |title=Chapter Six |url=https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/6/advanced-view/ |website=vedabase.io |accessdate=3 November 2020 |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
In [[Srimad Bhagavatam]], this is explained as: [[Mahavishnu|Kāraṇārṇavaśāyī Viṣṇu]] is the first incarnation of the Supreme Lord, and He is the master of eternal time, space, cause and effects, mind, the elements, the material ego, the modes of nature, the senses, the universal form of the Lord, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, and the sum total of all living beings, both moving and non-moving. <ref>{{cite web |title=ŚB 2.6.42 |url=https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/2/6/42/ |website=vedabase.io |accessdate=3 November 2020 |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
Garbhodhakaśāyī Viṣṇu is an expansion or overload of [[Mahavishnu|Mahā Viṣṇu]] (expansion of [[Sankarshana|Saṃkarṣaṇa]] of second caturvyūha, which expands from [[Narayana|Nārāyaṇa]] in [[Vaikunta|Vaikuṇṭhaloka]]).<br />
Garbhodhakaśāyī Vishnu is realized as the form of [[Pradyumna]] within the material universe. He is the father of Brahmā who appeared from His navel and hence Garbhodakashayi Vishnu is also called Hiraņyagarbha.<br />
