I am the thunderbolt among weapons, the wishgiving (cow) among cowsAnd I am love which generates. Among serpents I am Vasuki. Among Naga snakes I am Ananta; I am Varuna among aquatic beings. And I am Aryaman among the manes, and Yama among rulers. Among demons, too, I am PralhadaI am the king of death (Kala, time) among those that count. Among beasts I am the lord of beasts, and the son of Vinata among birds.
