21

Among the shining gods I am Vishnu; of

luminaries I am the sun; among the storm gods I

am Marichi, and in the night sky I am the moon.

22

Among scriptures I am the Sama Veda, and among

the lesser gods I am Indra. Among the senses I am

the mind, and in living beings I am consciousness.

23

Among the Rudras I am Shankara. Among

the spirits of the natural world I am Kubera,

god of wealth, and Pavaka, the purifying

fire. Among mountains I am Meru.

24

Among priests I am Brihaspati, and among

military leaders I am Skanda. Among

bodies of water I am the ocean.

25

Among the great seers I am Bhrigu, and among

words, the syllable Om; I am the repetition of the holy

name, and among mountains I am the Himalayas.

26

Among trees I am the ashvattha, the sacred fig;

among the gandharvas , the heavenly musicians,

I am Chitraratha. Among divine seers I am

Narada, and among sages I am Kapila.
