Meaning
“Of all trees I am the ashvattha; of divine sages, Narada; of gandharvas, Chitraratha; of the perfected, the sage Kapila. Among horses know Me as Ucchaihshravas, born of nectar; of lordly elephants, Airavata; among men, the king. Of weapons I am the thunderbolt; of cows, the wish-fulfilling cow; of progenitors I am Kandarpa, the god of love; of serpents I am Vasuki. Of the nagas I am Ananta; of water-beings, Varuna; of ancestors I am Aryama; of subduers I am Yama. Of daityas I am Prahlada; of reckoners I am Time; of beasts I am the lion; of birds, Garuda.”
