I am the self, O Gudakesa! seated in the hearts of all beings. I am the beginning and the middle and the end also of all beings. I am Vishnu among the Adityas, the beaming sun among the shining (bodies); I am Mariki among the Maruts, and the moon among the lunar mansions. 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.
