TRANSLATION<br />

Of priests, 0 Aijuna, know Me to be the chief, Brhaspati, the lord of<br />

devotion. Of generals I am Skanda, the lord of war; and of bodies of water<br />

I am the ocean.<br />

PURPORT<br />

Indra is the chief demigod of the heavenly planets and is known as the<br />

king of the heavens. The planet in which he reigns is called lndraloka.<br />

Brhaspati is Indra's priest, and since Indra is the chief of all kings,<br />

Brhaspati is the chief of all priests. And as lndra is the chief of all kings,<br />

similarly Skanda, the son of Piirvati and Lor.d Siva, is the chief of all<br />

military commanders. And of all bodies of water, the ocean is the greatest.<br />

These representations of Knn;ta only give hints of His greatness.<br />
