BG 18.35

The Vyuha Murtys Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha, further sub-divide Themselves into Three Murtys each. Thus the Lord appears in 4X3 = 12 Murtys. They are Kesava, etc., Dwadasa Nama Murtys [Kesava, Narayana, Madhava, Govinda, Vishnu, Madhusudana, Trivikrama, Vamana, Sridhara, Hrishikesa, Padmanabha and Damodara]. Each of these 12 Murtys have different colors, weapons, reside in different parts of our body, have different months, represented by different Adityas, etc. This way the Lord protects all of us, by dividing Himself into 12 Murtys, from 12 different directions. We will see all these in the table given below. First Vasudeva is sub-divided into Keasava, Narayana and Madhava. Sankarshana is sub-divided into Govinda, Vishnu and Madhsudana. Pradyumna is sub-divided into Trivikrama, Vamana and Sridhara. Finally, Aniruddha is sub-divided into Hrishikesa, Padmanabha and Damodara.
