Source: Google Books: Lakṣmī Tantra: A Pāñcarātra TextViśuddhādhvā (विशुद्धाध्वा, “pure creation”):—“From time to time a billion-billionth particle of ourselves, composed of consciousness, stirs into activity. That particle which is known as the urge to create (sisṛkṣā) is in the form ‘I will create according to my liking’, whereupon I, with that particle of myself, instantaneously evolve into pure creation (viśuddhādhvā). As the brilliance of a diamond shines forth in all directions, so does my pure course) of creative activity' diffuse its rays in every direction. Pure creation issues from my form of concentrated (absolute) knowledge, whose (tranquility) resembles a cloudless sky or a still ocean. Devoid of all acitivy, ever blissful, pure, all-embracing and supreme, the primeval jñāna (knowledge) becomes manifest and is called Saṃkarṣaṇa.” (From the Lakṣmī-tantra 4.1-8)
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
