Geeta Chapter 10 Stanzas 32 to 40

Krisna continues...
"Among the Daityas I am that good soul Pralhad. Among those who take the measurement of time I am Time itself. Among beasts I am the lion. Among birds I am the eagle. Among the invisible things that flow I am the wind. Among those who wield weapons I am Rama. Among the tail-bearers who live underwater, I am the crocodile. Among the flows of water I am the river Janhavi.

I am the beginning, the middle and the end of this cosmic saga. Among the branches of knowledge I am the knowledge of the spirit. Among those with proficiency in language, I am the art of rhetoric.Among the syllables I am the first syllable. Among words I am the conjunction. I am the still centre of Time, undiminished and whole. I have as many mouths as there are universes.

I am Death, the destroyer of all and I am also the one who brings everything back into existence after it is destroyed. I am the fame, wealth, speech, memory, genius, thought, and forgiveness among the attributes of  woman. Among the states of quiescence I am the immense quiescence. Among the metres pf poetry I am Gayatri. Among the months of the year I am Margashirsha. And among the seasons of the year I am spring. Among the games of deceit I am the gambling. Among the luminous objects I am the lustre. Among the embodiments of truth I am the essential truth. Among the descendants of the Vrushni dynasty I am Vasudeva. Among  the Pandava brothers I am Arjun.Among the sages I am Vyasa and among poets I am The star of Venus. Among the resolute I am the staff. Among those aspiring to victory I am the code of conduct. Among the guardians of the occult knowledge I am the secrecy. I am the knowledge among the learned ones. Whatever comes into being, know me among them all as the seed inside them. I am the seed of all life because life cannot come into being without me entering all forms. There is no end to the specific forms wherein I am manifest prominently. I have mentioned as much as was necessary to illustrate the scope of what you wanted to know. .
