In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna continues to reveal:

“There is no end to My Divine manifestations. Whatever is beautiful, mighty and glorious in this world has emanated from My infinite power!

___60) Of all humanity’s means for query and debate I am logic.

___61) Of all sound in the cosmos I am letter A.

___62) In grammar, I am the compound word, the most powerful.

___63) As Time itself, I have no beginning or end.

___64) As I mete out the karma of all beings, I am called the Disburser-Whose-Face-Is-Turned-Everywhere.

___65) Of the qualities that, due to their grace and tenderness are termed ‘female,’ I am: fame and fortune, sweet speech, memory, intelligence, steadfast perseverance, loyalty, and forgiveness.

___66) Of the great Sama Vedas I am the best, the Brihat Saman.

___67) Of poetic meters I am Gayatri, the leader.

___68) Of months I am Margasirsha (parts of November-December), the most spiritually favorable.

___69) Of the seasons I am the flowery spring.

___70) Of deceitful acts I am the roll of the dice.

___71) I am the splendor and radiance of the physically strong.

___72) Of that which takes humanity forward, I am effort.

___73) Of the three constituents of nature (gunas) I am goodness (sattva guna).

___74) Among the god-realized sages I am Vyasa, known as

an incarnation of Divinity.

___75) Among the omniscient seers (the Kavis) I am Usana, the foremost.

___76) Among those who punish others I am the scepter, the symbol of measured justice.

___77) I am the art of statesmanship in those who seek victory by noble means.

___78) I am the silence of things secret.

___79) I am the wisdom of the wise.

___80) I am the source of everything in creation, the origin of all beings, all lives—nothing in this world, animate or inanimate, can exist without Me.

___71) I am the splendor and radiance of the physically strong.

___72) Of that which takes humanity forward, I am effort.

___81) I am whatever can be thought or imagined.

Finally, just know that I, Brahman, the Absolute, do exist, and that I hold the entire creation by a tiny fraction of My Supreme Glory.”

– Krishna
