CHAPTER 10
An Account of God’s Glory

रुद्राणां शंकरश्चास्मि वित्तेशो यक्षरक्षसाम्।
वसूनां पावकश्चास्मि मेरू: शिखरिणामहम् ॥23॥

[ “I am Shankar among Rudr[1], Kuber[2] among demons and yaksh[3], fire among Vasu[4], and the Sumeru among lofty mountains.” ]

Krishn is Shankar among Rudr. Shankar-”shanka-ar’’-may be understood as the condition in which there are no doubts and irresolutions. In fact, “Kuber,” “fire,” and “Sumeru” are all metaphors for the discipline of yog; they are all yogic terms.
