How is He manifest? What does He do? The Lord says the word "mātrā", which means "with My eyes and other senses." He says "svaraḥ", which means "in My transcendental form". The word "iti" here means {.sy 168}in this way" and "sthaviṣṭhaḥ" means {.sy 168}manifest before My personal associates". "Sūkṣmam" means "not seen by outsiders, the neophyte devotees." {.sy 168} Manomayam means "entered the heart" and "rūpam upetya" means "manifesting".
