    As the supreme controller of both the material and spiritual worlds, the Lord has different incarnations of unlimited categories. Incarnations like Brahma, Rudra, Manu, Prthu and Vyasa are His material qualitative incarnations, but His incarnations like Rama, Narasimha, Varaha and Vamana are His transcendental incarnations. Lord Sri Krsna is the fountainhead of all incarnations, and He is therefore the cause of all causes.
    => SB 1.1.17

    What means "material qualitative incarnations"?
    As far as I understand, Brahma and Siva are in charge of the modes of passion and ignorance. What about Manu, Prthu and Vyasa?

    Thank you.

    "Brahma, Visnu and Siva are qualitative incarnations. Empowered incarnations are those like the Kumaras, King Prthu and Maha-muni Vyasa [the compiler of the Vedas]." (CC 1.1.67)
