The Vibhutis or Powers of the Lord
I am Bali among the worshippers of Brahmanas and I am Arjuna among warriors. I am indeed the origin, sustenance and dissolution of all beings.
I am the motion, speech, excretion, talking, enjoyment, touch, sight, taste, hearing and smelling of the organs. I constitute their functions. I am indeed the sense of all the senses.
Earth, air, ether, water, light, egoism, intelligence, the sixteen modifications of Prakriti viz., the five Tanmatras, the ten organs and mind, Purusha and Prakriti; Sattva, Rajas and Tamas and the Supreme Brahman - all these I am. I am also their enumeration, their knowledge and realisation of Truth.
Nothing exists without My presence in My twofold aspect, of the Lord and the Jiva, attribute and substance, the indwelling soul and gross or subtle body just as a thing cannot be without its property.
I can count the atoms of the elements in course of time but My powers and glories displayed in creating crores of worlds are indeed beyond counting i.e., infinite.
