The Vibhutis or Powers of the Lord

I am the Kritayuga or Satya Yuga among Yugas and of the wise, brave and the steady-minded I am Devala and Asita; of the dividers of the Vedas I am Dvaipayana and of men of wisdom I am Sukra, possessed of self-control.
I am Vasudeva among the Lords or Avataras and of the devotees I am thyself. I am Hanuman among the Kimpurushas; and of Vidyadharas I am Sudarsana; (I am Chakra or Sudarshana among weapons).
I am the sapphire (blue stone or ruby) among precious stones; of the beautiful I am the lotus-bud; I am the sacred Kusa among the many varieties of grass; and of oblations I am the clarified butter or cow’s ghee.
I am the fortune of the persevering and the fraud of the deceitful; I am forbearance or fortitude of the plodding or the painstaking, and I am the Sattva (purity or goodness) of those who have Sattva.
Know that I am firmness and resistance in the strong and devotion among the devotees; of the nine forms worshipped by devotees, I am the first and the most important manifestation, Vasudeva.
I am Visvavasu among Gandharvas and Purvachiti (Urvasi) among Apsaras. I am the firmness of mountains and am the smell in abstract of earth. I am the sweet taste in water, and the sun among the resplendent; I am the brilliance in the sun, moon and stars and the sound in ether.
