(31) lam the wind, among the speeders. I (am) Rama, among arms-bearers; I am the alligator, among fishes; and the Bhagirathi, among the rivers. (32) O Arjuna ! I am the origin, the middle and the end of the entire creation; Metaphysics, among all sciences; I, the logic of all controversialists. Description:-[It has been stated in the 20th stanza above, that the Blessed Lord is the origin of all activated (sacetana) things; and He now says, that He is the beginning, middle, and end of the entire moveable and immoveable creation ; this is the distinction. ]
