Krishna replied: Indeed, I shall tell you of the most prominent among my divine manifestations, for there is no end to their extent. I am the self, seated in the heart of all beings. I am the beginning, middle, and end for them all. Of all the creative powers, I am the creator. Of all the luminous bodies, I am the radiant sun. Of the winds, I am the whirlwind, and among the stars, I am the moon. Of the scriptures, I am the hymns. Among the gods, I am Indra.
