CHAPTER 10
An Account of God’s Glory

उच्चै: श्रवसमश्वानां विद्धि माममृतोद्भवम्।
ऐरावतं गजेन्द्राणां नराणां च नराधिपम् ॥27॥

[ “Know (also) that I am the nectar-born Uchchaishrav among horses, Airawat[1] among pachyderms, and king among men.” ]

Every object in the world is perishable and the Self alone is indestructible. It is thus that Krishn is Uchchaishrav, Indr’s horse that is said to have been churned out of the nectar that came from the ocean. A horse is a symbol of regulated motion. Krishn is the motion of the mind in its quest for the reality of the Self. He is also king among men. A great soul is in fact a king, because he wants for nothing.
