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. I am the wind among those that blowI am Rama among those that wield weapons. Among fishes I am Makara, and among streams the Gahnavi.
