Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.6.19

"The Personality of Godhead, the master of all living entities, existed prior to the creation as one without a second. It is by His will only that creation is made possible and again everything merges in Him. This Supreme Self is symptomized by different names."

The material energy was dormant, whereas the internal potency was manifested." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/5/23 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/5/24
