Purport
In the Laghu-bhāgavatāmṛta, Pūrva-khaṇḍa, verse 17, it is stated:
tādṛśo nyūna-śaktiṁ yo
vyanakti svāṁśa īritaḥ
saṅkarṣaṇādir matsyādir
yathā tat-tat-svadhāmasu
When a form of Kṛṣṇa is nondifferent from the original form but is less important and exhibits less potency, it is called svāṁśa. Examples of the svāṁśa expansion can be found in the quadruple forms of the Lord residing in their respective places, beginning with Saṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna and Aniruddha and including the puruṣa-avatāras, līlā-avatāras, manvantara-avatāras and yuga-avatāras.
