Verse 287

सर्गादिषु पृथग्विभूतयश्चतस्रः आत्मनः यस्य सः चतुरात्मा ।

In plain words

In creation and the rest, his one self stands forth as four distinct powers, each apart from the others. That is why he is called Caturātmā — the one whose self is fourfold.

Close to the Sanskrit

He of whom, in creation and the rest, there are four separate manifestations of the self — he is Caturātmā.
