Ramanuja’s Commentary ..Lord Krishna reveals that of things that purify and things that are the swiftest His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is the wind. The words sastra-bhrtam means weapon wielding heroes of which His vibhuti is Rama but unlike other vibhuti which are indirect. Rama is an avatar or direct incarnation of the Supreme Lord Krishna who manifests Himself as Rama the paragon of weapon wielding heroes. Indirect vibhutis such as the Maruts or the Vasus are still jivas or embodied souls even though imbued with a filament of the Supreme Lords potency. In relationship to the Supreme Lord they are exactly like potencies serving Him as the weapons wielded by Rama are likewise serving Him

Ramanuja’s Commentary.. Lord Krishna reveals that His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is sarganam or creation. Creation is the total sum of all things in existence and the Supreme Lord Krishna is the beginning or origin of all, the middle or preservation of all and the end or dissolution of all being the creator of everything. Of the three forms of debate and arguement His vibhuti known as vadah is the discriminating debate that results in knowledge of the absolute conclusive truth. This is in opposition to the other two forms being jalpa which is an argument calculated to destroy the opposition at any cost even by deception and falsehood. The other is vintanda whose aim is to criticize and undermine the oppositions position without ever establishing any position.

Ramanuja’s Commentary .. Lord Krishna reveals that of the letters of the alphabet His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is the Sanskrit letter A-kara which is the root of all other letters. The Rig Veda, III.II.III in the Aitareya- Aranyaka section beginning akaro vai sarva-vak states that the letter A itself contains all speech. An example of His vibhuti of dvandva or compound words are Rama-Krishna. Samasikasya is the class of compound word forming in Sanskrit. Of the several ways to compound Lord Krishna is the dual compound of which both terms are substanative attributes of equal position with each other grammatically. His vibhuti is also expressed as ever flowing time composed of uninterupted divisions such as kala a measurement of 8 seconds and muhurta a period comprising 1/60th of a 24 hour day. Among secondary creators His vibhuti is the four headed dhataham known as Brahma.

“I am all-devouring death, and I am the generating principle of all that is yet to be. Among women I am fame, fortune, fine speech, memory, intelligence, steadfastness and patience.”

The Lord mentions some more groups. Sarva- hara = among all bereavers [compulsorily taking away], mrityu = god of death. There are so many in this world who rob others’ possessions. The Lord is Mrithyu or god of death among them. Bhavisyatam = among those to occur in future, udbhavas = active energy. That is the Lord is the action in those which are to develop or to happen. Narinam = among females, the Lord is, kirti = fame, sri = wealth, vak = speech, smriti = memory, medha = intelligence, dhriti = courage and ksama = patience..The Lord represents all these women characters like Kirti Devi, Sri Devi, Vak Devi, Smriti Devi, Medha Devi, Dhriti Devi and Kshama Devi..

Ramanuja’s Commentary . Lord Krishna reveals that of destroyers His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is mrtyuh or death, the great terminator of life in all material existences. Of the eight transformations of physical existence His vibhuti is the first known as birth. And His vibhuti is all of the seven feminine perfections being kirtih or exalted reputation, srir or lustrous beauty, vak or articulate speech, smrtih or excellent memory, medha or discerning intelligence, dhrtih or fortitude and kasma or forgiveness.

brihat-sama tatha samnam
gayatri chandasam aham
masanam marga-sirso ’ham
rtunam kusumakarah

“Of the hymns in the Sama Veda I am the Brihat-sama, and of poetry I am the Gayatri. Of months I am Margasirsa [November-December], and of seasons I am flower-bearing spring.”

Again, another group of four are mentioned by the Lord. rig vadam suram kootti saamam-Samanam = among sama veda, brihat-sama = [the Lord is] brihat sama. There are Two samas: Brihat-sama and Rasanchara-sama. Brihat sama governs mind while Rasanchara sama governed speech. From Brihat sama was born Rasanchara sama. These are mentioned in Upanishads. Chandasam = among metres, aham = I [Sri Krishna] am, gayatri = Gayatri [metre]. There are Seven types of metres for composing poems: Gayatri, Ushnuk, Anushtup, Brahati, Pankthi Thrushtup and Jagati. These are the Seven horses of Sun. Every sloka [poem] has Four padas or legs. The number of syllables in each pada decides the metre. Gayatri has the least number of syllables-6. So, the sloka would have 24 syllables. Each of the other chandas increases by one syllable in each pada. Thus, Ushnuk would have 7 syllables per pada and 28 syllables in one verse and so on. Jagati will have 12 syllables per pada and total of 48 syllables per sloka. The Lord says He is the Gayatri chandas. Gayatri is regarded as Mother. Gayatri mantra has a unique feature, that it has only Three padas and each pada will have 8 syllables making a total of 24 syllables for the mantra.6times 4 elaamal 3 times 8. Masanam = among months, aham = I [Sri Krishna] am, marga-sirsa = Margasirusham [ Tamil Margazhi மார்கழி ]. Margazhi is famous because of Sri Andal and Her Thiruppavai. It is also famous for Pongal! Margazhi ..is the brahma muhurtham time for Devas. Rtunam = among seasons, six seasons.ruthu-kusumakara = Vasantham or spring time. Of the six seasons, the Lord says He is Vasantha rutu, when all plants flower. It is the season when Sri Rama was born. We will now take leave of Kattumannar koil Kshetram.

Ramanuja’s Commentary ..Lord Krishna reveals that among the hymns in His vibhuti or His divine, transcendental opulence the Sama Veda, His foremost vibhuti is the Brihat- sama which is a special prayer that is indicated in the Rig Veda VI.XXXXVI.I beginning tvam rddhim havamahe and glorifies the post of Indra the ruler of all the demigods during the time when the Supreme Lord Himself assumes that position as He did in the case of His manavatara incarnation of Dharmasetu. The word marga-sirsah refers to harvesting month of grains which is His vibhuti and the word rtunam means season and the word kusumakarah means flowery which means His vibhuti is the springtime.
