of cheats, I am the game of dice; I am the glory of the glorious; victory, I am industry, I am the goodness of the good. I am Vasudeva among the descendants of Vrishni, and Arguna among the Pandavas. Among sages also, I am Vyasa; and among the discerning ones, I am the discerning Usanas. I am the rod of those that restrain, and the policy of those that desire victory. I am silence respecting secrets. I am the knowledge of those that have knowledge.
