I am the beginning, middle, and end of creation. Among sciences, I am the science of the self. Of those who argue, I am reasoning. Of the syllables, I am 'A', and of the compounds, I am the copulative. Among the annihilators, I am inexhaustible time, and among the creators, I am Brahma. I am also death, destroyer of all. I am the origin of all that will happen. Of the feminine traits, I am fame, fortune, speech, memory, intelligence, endurance, and forgiveness. Of the hymns, I am the Brhatsaman, and among meters, I am the Gayatri. Among months, I am Margashirsa, and of seasons, I am the spring. Of the fraudulent, I am gambling. I am the brilliance of the brilliant, the effort in excellent, and the purity of the pure. Among the Vishnu clan, I am Vasudeva, and among the Pandavas, I am Arjuna. Among the sages, I am Vyasa, and among the poets, I am Usanas.
