CHAPTER 10 An Account of God’s Glory अश्वत्थ: सर्ववृक्षाणां देवर्षीणां च नारद:। गन्धर्वाणां चित्ररथ: सिद्धानां कपिलो मुनि: ॥26॥ [ I am Ashwath (the Peepal) among trees, Narad among divine sages, Chitrarath among Gandharv , and the sage Kapil among men of attainment.” ] Krishn is Ashwath, the holy peepal among trees. The world, which is not even sure of living until the symbolic tomorrow, is described as an inverted Peepal tree (fig tree) whose root-God-is above and whose boughs- nature-are spread below. This is not the ordinary Peepal tree that is commonly worshipped. And it is in this Sense that Krishn calls himself Peepal among trees. Narad (nade randhrah is Narad) has, on the other hand, such a sharp awareness that he can steadily hold on to the divine rhythm arising from breath. Among Gandharv Krishn is Chitrarath, or that unique state in which the object of contemplation begins to be directly perceptible to the worshipper. Kapil is bodily manifestation. Krishn is that form as well as both the state as well as the immersion in that form, and also the divine message that is received from it.
