ādityānām ahaṃ viṣṇur jyotiṣāṃ ravir-aṃśumān |
marīcir marutām asmi nakṣatrāṇām ahaṃ śaśī || 21 ||

21. Among the Adityas I am Vishnu, of luminaries I am the radiant Sun. Of the Maruts I am
Marici, and among the constellations I am the Moon.

Commentary

Of the 27 lunar mansions (sub-divisions of the Zodiac), I am the Moon. The genitive case used here is not to specify one out of many included in a group; its use is the same as in statement— ‘I am the consciousness in all beings’ [1], I am the Moon who is the Lord of the lunar mansions [but not one of them].
