I am Vishnu among the (twelve) sons of Aditi, I am the
radiant sun among the luminaries, I am Marici among the gods of wind, I am the moon among the stars. (10.21)
I am the Sama Veda among the Vedas; I am Indra among
the Devas; I am the mind among the senses; I am the consciousness in living beings. (10.22)
I am Shiva among the Rudras; (I am) Kubera among the
Yakshas and demons; I am the fire among the Vasus; and I am Meru among the mountain peaks. (10.23)
Among the priests, O Arjuna, know Me to be the chief,
Brihaspati. Among the army generals, I am Skanda; I am the ocean among the bodies of water. (10.24)
