Chapter 11: Verse-39
väyur yamo ’gnir varunah sasänkah prajäpatis tavm prapitämahas ca TRANSLATION
You are air, and You are the supreme controller! You are fire, You are water, and You are the moon! You are Brahmä, the first living creature, and You are the great-grandfather. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto You a thousand times, and again and yet again!
PURPORT
The Lord is addressed here as air because the air is the most important representation of all the demigods, being all-pervasive. Arjuna also addresses krsna as the great-grandfather because He is the father of Brahmä, the first living creature in the universe.
