pavanaḥ pavatām asmi rāmaḥ śastra-bhṛtām aham |
jhaṣāṇāṃ makaraś-cāsmi srotasām-asmi jāhnavī || 31 ||

31. Of moving things, I am the wind. Among warriors I am Rama; among fishes, I am the shark,
and amongst rivers, I am Ganga.

Commentary

Among those who bear arms, I am Rama. Here the quality of “bearing weapons” is the actual Vibhuti, as no other sense is possible. Aditya and the others, being jivas, are ‘attributes’ of the Lord, who is their Over-Self as they constitute His corporeality. Therefore they stand in the same position of the attribute as that of bearing weapons.
