Chapter-10
The Divine Manifestation
34. I am the all-devouring Death, and the origin of things to come; of the feminine virtues, I am fame, prosperity, speech, memory, intelligence, fortitude and forgiveness. Know that I create all beings, I am also their support and I am their all-devouring death too. I have also seven female manifestations which I shall tell you with delight (271-275). O Arjuna, fame, which is ever fresh, is the very image of My Divine being. Know that I am also wealth which is joined to generosity. I am also the speech which is enthroned on the seat of reason and treads along the path of discriminating knowledge. I am also the power of recollection, by which a person after seeing a thing, remembers Me as its creator. I am also the intelligence, which brings about one’s well being in this world and am also fortitude (that makes men endure hardships) and forgiveness. I am, therefore, these seven female powers, so said the Lord, the lion who destroys the elephant in the form of worldly existence (276-280). |
