Vibhuti Vistara Yoga Verse

Bhagavad Gita Chapter - 10: Vibhuti Vistara Yoga - The Infinite Glories of the Ultimate Truth

Krishna Said > Shaloka: 24


 
Bhagavad-Gita Sanskrit Shaloka [Chapter: 10 - Verse 24]
English

Of priests, O Arjuna, know Me to be the chief, Brhaspati, the lord of devotion. Of generals I am Skanda, the lord of war; and of bodies of water I am the ocean.

Purport

Indra is the chief demigod of the heavenly planets and is known as the king of the heavens. The planet in which he reigns is called Indraloka. Brhaspati is Indra's priest, and since Indra is the chief of all kings, Brhaspati is the chief of all priests. And as Indra is the chief of all kings, similarly Skanda, the son of Parvati and Lord Siva, is the chief of all military commanders. And of all bodies of water, the ocean is the greatest. These representations of Krishna only give hints of His greatness.
