adityanam aham vishnur
jyotisam ravir amsuman
maricir marutam asmi
nakshatranam aham sasi

“Of the Adityas I am Vishnu, of lights I am the radiant sun, of the Maruts I am Marici, and among the stars I am the moon.”

..Adityana = among the Adityas, aham = I [Sri Krishna] am, vishnu = Vishnu…Jyotisam = among the luminous objects, ravi = the Sun, amsuman = with rays. Marutham = among the Maruths, marici = [the Lord is] Marichi.maruths=air..Nakshatranam = among Stars, sasi = Moon. moon is the leader of all stars..All are His property or all are at His command.

Ramanuja’s Commentary ..The 12 Adityas are revealed in the Vishnu Purana being Dhatri, Aryama, Mitra, Varuna, Indra, Vivasvan, Pushan, Parjanya, Amsu, Bhaga, Tvastri and Vishnu. The Supreme Lord Krishna’s vibhuti or divine transcendental opulence is the one bearing the name Vishnu who is chief of them all. Of the lights that shine in the countless universes Lord Krishna’s vibhuti is the solar group consisting of all suns. Of the 7 Maruts being Avaha, Prahava, Nivaha, Purvaha, Udvaha, Samvaha and Parivaha who are different varieties of winds blowing throughout space, Lord Krishna’s vibhuti is the chief wind known as Parivaha who bears the name Marici the primal wind which precedes all the others. Of all constellations Lord Krishna’s vibhuti is the moon. The genitive case of the word sasi meaning moon is not referring to one out of many but is specifying one over all. Thus naksatranam aham sasi refers to the moon as being the Lord over all the constellations. This will also be exemplified similarly in the next verse where He states His vibhuti is the consciousness in all beings which means that what exists as consciousness apart from intelligence is His vibhuti also.

vedanam sama-vedo ’smi
devanam asmi vasavah
indriyanam manas casmi
bhutanam asmi cetana

“Of the Vedas I am the Sama Veda; of the demigods I am Indra, the king of heaven; of the senses I am the mind; and in living beings I am the living force [consciousness].”

Vedanam = among Vedas, sama veda = Sama veda, asmi = I [Sri Krishna] am, devanam = among devas, vasava = Indra, indriyanam = among organs, manas = mind, bhutanam = in living beings, cetana = intellect, asmi = I [Sri Krishna] am. Sama veda is in music form Indriyanam means the organs of our body. They are Eleven. Karmendriya or action organs are Five – legs [for walking], hands for doing, mouth for talking, the two organs for excretion of urine and stools. Gyanendriya or knowledge organs are Five – eyes for seeing, tongue for tasting, ears for listening, nose for smelling and skin for touching. Mind is also considered as an organ and so total is Eleven. Mind is the leader among all organs and the Lord says He is mind among organs..

Ramanuja’s Commentary

Lord Krishna reveals that among the four Vedas, His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is the Sama Veda, of all the demigods His vibhuti is the celestial chief Indra. Of the 11 senses called indriyannam being seeing, hearing, tatsing, touching and smelling which corresponds respectively to the eyes, ears, tongue, skin and nose with the 11th being the mind which as the chief of them all is Lord Krishna vibhuti. Of all living beings whatever consciousness arises within them apart from intelligence that is also His vibhuti.

“Of all the Rudras I am Lord Shiva, of the Yakshas and Rakshasas I am the Lord of wealth [Kuvera], of the Vasus I am fire [Agni], and of mountains I am Meru.”

Another Four groups are mentioned here. Rudranam = among [Eleven] Rudras, sankara =Sankara, asmi = I [Sri Krishna] am. Vittesa = Leader of wealth [Kubera], yaksha-rakshasam = in Yaksha and Rakshasas, vasunam = among the [Eight] Vasus [ வசுக்கள் ], pavaka = Pavaka, sikharinam = among the [mountain] peaks, meru =Meru, aham =I [Sri Krishna] am. Sam + karothi = sankara. ,one who gives comfort..sareera-atma bavam pattri solluhiraan..

Ramanuja’s Commentary

Lord Krishna reveals of the 11 Rudras or expansions of destruction, His vibhut or divine, transcendental opulence is Sankara a name for Shiva and of the 8 Vasus His vibhuti is Pavaka which is Agni the fire-god.

purodhasam ca mukhyam mam
viddhi partha brihaspatim
senaninam aham skandah
sarasam asmi sagarah

“Of priests, O Arjuna, know Me to be the chief, Brihaspati. Of generals I am Kartikeya, and of bodies of water I am the ocean.”

Sarasam = among stagnant waters, asmi = I [Sri Krishna] am, sagaram = ocean. Senaninam = among army commanders, aham = I [Sri Krishna] am, skanda = lord Skanda [aka Subrahmanya, son of lord Shiva.]. The meaning of the First line is very important to be noted. Its meaning has to be applied in all the comparisons the Lord is making. Partha = Arjuna, viddhi = understand, purodhasam = among purohits or vedic rites conductors or priests, mukhyam = important, mam = I [Sri Krishna] am, brihaspatim = Brahaspati.

Ramanuja’s Commentary ..Lord Krishna reveals that of priests His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is Brihaspati the chief priest of all the demigods. The word senaninam means generals or commanders of armies of them all Lord Krishna’s vibhuti is Skanda who commands the armies of the demigods and is known as Kartikeya the son of Shiva.

maharsinam bhrgur aham
giram asmy ekam aksharam
yajnanam japa-yajno ’smi
sthavaranam himalayah

“Of the great sages I am Bhrgu; of vibrations I am the transcendental om. Of sacrifices I am the chanting of the holy names [japa], and of immovable things I am the Himalayas.”

Here again the Lord mentions Four groups. In each group the Lord tells He is the more important among them. Just like among various Crowns the Lord has, Vairamudi has a special place. Maharsinam = among the great ascetics [maharishis], aham = I [Sri Krishna] am, bhrugu = sage Brughu..Giram = among intelligible words, asmy = I [Sri Krishna] am, ekam aksharam = mono syllable Pranavam, AUM [ॐ].avanukku naam adimai naam sothu avanathu kainkaryathukku yentrey erukkanum..Yajnanam = among religious sacrifices [yagna], japa yajna = meditation. Yagnas are many types.Homam vallarthu yagjam pannuvathai vida jabam pannuvathu siranthathu.. maavinaal yerpatta pasu aadu yenkirathu vedam maari purinthu konndu pannuvaarkall.jabathil entha thappu varaathu..Sthavaranam = among rocks, himalaya = Himalaya mountain.himam=pani ..pani malaiyaha erukireyn yenkiraan..

Ramanuja’s Commentary ..Lord Krishna reveals that of the holy sages His vibhuti is Bhrigu. The word giram means articulate sound vibrations of these Lord Krishna’s vibhuti is the all powerful monosyllable OM. Of all yagna or propitiation and worship to the Supreme Lord, the best and most elevated is japa-yagno the reverential and devotional chanting of the Supreme Lord Krishna holy names. Of terrestrial mountains His vibhuti is the mighty Himalayas
