Meaning
“Of purifiers I am the wind; of warriors I am Rama; of fishes I am the shark; of rivers I am the Ganga. Of creations I am the beginning, the end, and also the middle, O Arjuna; of sciences, the science of the Self; of debaters I am the argument. Of letters I am the letter A; of compounds, the dual; I alone am imperishable Time; I am the Ordainer facing everywhere. I am all-seizing Death, and the origin of things to come; of feminine qualities I am fame, prosperity, speech, memory, intelligence, constancy, and forbearance.”
