yad asya bahudhā rūpaṃ bhūta-bhavya-bhavāvasthitam | sthāvaraṃ jaṅgamaṃ caiva bahurūpas tataḥ smṛtaḥ ||

Vyāsa said: “Because this being manifests in many forms—spread across the past, the future, and the present—and because within it abide countless forms both immobile and mobile, it is therefore remembered by the name ‘Bahurūpa’ (the Many-Formed).”
