42 verses · The Divine Glories
Arjuna asks: how can I know you, Lord? Krishna responds with the famous Vibhuti list — among the Adityas he is Vishnu, among lights the radiant sun, among Vedas the Sama Veda, among priests Brihaspati, among warriors Skanda, among rivers the Ganga, among mountains the Himalayas, among trees the Ashwattha, among horses Ucchaihshravas, among elephants Airavata, among gods Indra, among weapons the thunderbolt, among Pandavas Arjuna. Wherever there is supremacy, that is a spark of Krishna.
