The fashioning of names and forms proceeds from the highest Lord only; for Shruti says, “The Lord who is of the highest wisdom and glory having created all forms and names to denote them, is (ever) making use of them.” (T.

And it is also said in the Brahmandapurana: “As the combination of the three elements is the work of Vishnu, and as form depends upon the combining of the elements, as name requires form to precede it, and as communication, etc., depend Upon name; therefore of name, form and their uses, Hari is the sole author and master; hence the glorious and all-powerful Lord is called the Father.”
