Gita : Ch-10. Slo-29.

Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :

Chapter-10. ( Vibhuthi-yogam )

Slokam-29. ( Lord further said : Of the celestial Naga snakes I am Ananta; of the aquatic deities I am Varuna. Of departed ancestors I am Aryama, and among the dispensers of law I am Yama, lord of death. )


anantascasmi  naganam  varuno  yadasamaham,


pitrnamaryama  casmi  yamah  samyamatamaham.


naganam  anantah  =  among  non-poisonous  snakes  Ananta  and;

yadasam  =  of  all  jala-devata-s  ( aquatic-deities );

varunah  aham  asmi  =    I  am  Varuna-devan  ( Lord  of  Rain,  Lord of water  sources,  Lord  of  Ocean) ;

pitrnam  aryama  =   of  the ancestors,  I  am  Aryama;

samyamatam  =  of   the  law,  (  punishing  authority ),   the  authority;

yamah  ca  aham  asmi  =  I  am  the  Yama  (  Lord of  Death / Punishment ).



Among non-poisonous serpents of many heads Lord Krishna's vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is the divine snake Ananta endowed with the qualities of dispassion, mightiness, etc.

Among the controllers of the demigods who direct universal management His vibhuti is Yamaraja the demigod in charge of death who blesses the righteous and punishes the unrighteous.


Of Nagas or non-poisonous snakes, Lord Krishna vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is Ananta the divine serpent upon whose head unlimited universes revolve resembling the size of a mustard seed.

Of aquatics He is Varuna the ruler of the waters.

Of the manes or ancestors His vibhuti is Aryaman the king of the manes and of chastisers or those who mete out punishment Lord Krishna's vibhuti is Yamaraja the demigod in charge of death and punishment after death.


Among the many celestial Naga serpents, Ananta is the greatest, as is Varuṇa among the aquatics.

They both represent Krishna.

There is also a planet of trees presided over by Aryama, who represents Krishna.

There are many living entities who give punishment to the miscreants, and among them Yama is the chief.

Yama is situated in a planet near this earthly planet, and after death those who are very sinful are taken there, and Yama arranges different kinds of punishments for them.


Lord Krishna reveals that His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence among naganam is Ananta.

Naganam means non-poisonous serpents with many heads.

The word yadasam means aquatics or inhabitants of water and of punishers and chastisers His vibhuti is Yamaraja.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, March 21, 2021. 07:57. AM. Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p...

================================================================================= Saturday 01, June 2024 06:40. Chapter 7: The Entry of the Absolute into the Relative -3. Post-33. ================================================================================= There are endless connections of this type. The relationship of adhyatma and adhibhuta is involved in an infinite variety of degrees of ascent and descent. This imperative of the presence of a consciousness between adhyatma and adhibhuta in various degrees is the reason why you sometimes feel there are many gods. Sometimes the question arises: Are there many gods, or only one God? There is only one God, the Absolute, but inasmuch as it manifests itself as an interconnecting link between subject and object through millions of degrees of ascent and descent, it looks as there are millions of gods. It is as if there are millions of governments merely because there are millions of officials in a centrality of administration. There is...
