Among the Vedas, I am the Sama-vedaI am Indra among the gods. And I am mind among the senses. I am consciousness in (living) beings. And I am Sankara among the Rudras, the lord of wealth among Yakshas and Rakshases. And I am fire among the Vasus, and Meru among the hightopped (mountains). And know me, O Arguna! to be Brihaspati, the chief among domestic priests. I am Skanda among generals. I am the ocean among reservoirs of water.
