Bhagavad Gita 10.20

Among the subduers I am Time.

Among the beasts, I am the Lion.

Of weapons , I am the thunderbolt.

Among the immovable things, I am the mighty Himalayas.

Bhagavad Gita 10.25,10.28,10.30

Of Letters I am the letter A,

I am generating principle of all, that is yet to be.

I am all devouring death.

Among women, I am fame, fortune, fine speech, memory, intelligence, steadfastness and patience.

Bhagavad Gita 10.33,10.34

Of all creations, I am the beginning, middle and also the end,

Of all science i am the spiritual science, of logics, I am the all conclusive truth.

Neither the hosts of demigods, nor the great sages, know

My origin or opulence

For in every respect, I am the source, of the demigods, and sages.

Bhagavad Gita 10.2

To those who are constantly devoted to serving me,

With love,

I give the understanding by which they can come to me.

Bhagavad Gita 10.10

I am transcendental, beyond both the fallible and the infallible, and I am the greatest, I am celebrated both in the world and in the Vedas as that Supreme Person.

(In this battle) the Ray-cows are recovered.

The luminous weapons fall on every-side,

upon the fierce fighters and overpower them.”

(10.38.1)

“May we know the supreme person. For that, we meditate upon lambodara (pot-bellied) and mahodara (corpulent).

May dantin (one who has the tusk) impel us towards it.”

— Agni Purana

The Brahmavaivarta Purana which professes to glorify Krsna relates in its Ganesa-khanda to the legends of the elephant-headed deity. Ganesa has been represented here as an incarnation of Krsna. The Garuda and Agni Puranas prescribe rules for the worship of Ganesa.

—This image of Ganesa has a speciality with serpent hood over his head. A single serpent is used usually as his yajñopavita, here their number is much more. A mouse is associated with him as his vahana. But here instead there are animals like swan, tortoise and golden fox.

Three of the four of his hands uphold one animal or the other. He does not have any weapon known to associate with him. In place of lotus, his base is made of a panel of swans under him.

Know me to be The Devourer.

“I am the Supersoul, O Arjuna, seated in the hearts of all living entities. I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings.”

(10.20)

“Of the adityas I am Visnu, of lights I am the radiant sun, of the Maruts I am Marici, and among the stars I am the moon.”

(10.21)

“Of the descendants of Vrsni I am Vasudeva, and of the Pandavas I am Arjuna. Of the sages I am Vysa, and among great thinkers I am Usana.”

(10.37)

“Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences.

There is no being-moving or nonmoving-that can exist without Me.”

(10.39)

“O mighty conqueror of enemies, there is no end to My divine manifestations. What I have spoken to you is but a mere indication of My infinite opulences.”

(10.40)

“Know that all opulent, beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.”

(10.41)

“But what need is there, Arjuna, for all this detailed knowledge?

With a single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe.”

(10.42)

— Bhagavad Gita

Indra, one with great luminous might, chief of leaders and the fierce one, and the showerer, casts the four-sided thunderbolt (against the Vrtra) to release the energies.

Desirous of the glories of the wide river Parushni, out of friendship he pervades the river in its various levels (or regions).

(4.22.2)

O Indra, violent overthrower (of foes), upholder (of the worlds), you killed (demon) Ahi with your might using the forceful thunderbolt. O great Indra, all these (tä) great deeds of yours (te) are proclaimed promptly (tu) at all the Soma - sacrifices.

(4.22.5)

[ Note : Rivers lowering down, rivers allowing passage, many such references are in Vedas that relate with Indra, birth of Krishna had many similarities and one of the first wonders he did was to overpower all the gods, then in Mahabharata we again find the relationship of Krishna and Arjuna where only his support and guidance is enough for Indra(Arjuna) to defeat armies of Asura Heroes. ]

Indra, the ancient one is forceful, born to conquer (the hostiles),

He is mighty, his self-strengths are like that of a mountain.

He wields the dense vajra and is fierce. He is overflowing with riches like water rushing out of a sheath.

(4.20.6)

By birth, there is none who can oppose him. There is no destroyer for the riches and the achievement (of plenitudes) given by you. You are fierce, strong and shower all the desirables (to your devotees);

O one called by many, may you bestow the felicities on us.

(4.20.7)

You are He, Varuna, O Will (Agni), when you are born (Oceans).

You become the Lord of Love when you are entirely kindled.

In you are all the gods, O son of Force.

You are Indra for the mortal who gives the offering.

(5.3.1)

— RigVeda

[ Note : Krishna did humble Indra, by lifting the mountain, we do have references in Purana where this gets inter-dimensional in certain stories, like shiva holding 100s of Indras, very different…however, when we inquire uniquely into mainstream happenings, Vedic seers are continuously doing rituals, maintaining balance, their experiences are intimate, personal experiences, symbolic for the most part and literal at times, not everything has been noted down, these are a very specific collection of poetic elements that have existed since 7-8 thousand years, only accessible to ‘seer-mind’, and then in Mahabharata we find the story connecting again when Krishna and Arjuna are in the War against Asuras. ]

[ Note : Puranas are not like Vedas, they’re gods in action, and do connect to Vedas in ancestry, at times, when gods manifested, continued the lineage, though, a very important aspect to remember is, Vedas followed a certain way to write, doing rituals, preserving knowledge and that is peculiar to Vedas only, they do build the foundation to all other scriptures but there’s something underneath it all which is not exposed. ]

— RigVeda

O Indra, in the rapture, Vitra (vyamsa) wounded you in, and smote away your jaws. When they were wounded, you rose more high, and did crush the head of the Dasa-foe (Vtra) with your weapon.

(4.18.9)

The cow bore, Indra, the firm, the forceful, the inviolate and mighty bull. The mother sent forth her unhurt child to the journeying, since he desired a path for his body.

(4.18.10)

The mother coaxed the mighty one, "O my son, beloved, the gods abandon you', Then said Indra, for he meant to slay the coverer (Vrtra). O Vishnu, O my comrade, pace all the width of your steps.

(4.18.11)

[ Note : The mother here is Aditi, the infinite, mother of gods, the war between has become extreme. ]

[ Note : The relationship between Indra and Vishnu is found in Vedas as well. ]

Vasudeva prayed, "Although You are one, the modes of material nature make You appear to be many. You are the creator, maintainer, and destroyer of the worlds. As crystal is colorless, You are untouched by material qualities. O master of the worlds; I bow down before You."

"You are inside, like fire in fuel. You are outside, like the sky.

You are the maintainer, like the earth. You see everything. You are present everywhere, like the air. My obeisances unto You!"

"You are the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, the protector of the cows, demigods, brahmanas, and Your own children (associates), who have appeared in my dynasty to remove the great armies that now burden the earth. O master of the worlds, please protect me from sinful Kamsa."

Sri Narada said, "Understanding handsome and dark Sri Krsna to be the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, Devaki, who was equal to the demigods, bowed before Him and spoke."

Sri Devaki said, "O Krsna, O master of countless universes, O Supreme Lord, O flag of Goloka-dhama, O original Lord, O master of the perfect, O perfect one, O most perfect original Supreme Personality of Godhead, O Supreme Controller, please protect me from Kamsa's atrocities!"

— Garga Samhita

"O king of Mithila, at the time of Lord Hari's appearance, the sky and the ten directions became very pure. The stars were very bright, the earth appeared happy, and the rivers, streams, oceans, and lakes were filled with pure water. The breezes spread the fragrant pollen of thousand-petal hundred-leaf lotuses that were seen blooming everywhere. Bees hummed, colorful birds sang, and fragrant cooling breezes gently blew."

"The kingdoms appeared most opulent, the towns and villages auspicious, and the demigods, brahmanas, trees, and cows were happy. The demigods beat their drums as if to announce victory.

Everywhere there was great auspiciousness. The Vidyadharas, Gandharvas, Siddhas, Kinnaras, and Caranas sang, and the chief demigods offered prayers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

"The Gandharvas and Vidyadharas happily danced in heaven, the demigods threw many parijata, mandara, malati, and sumanah flowers, and the clouds thundered and sprinkled water.

Then, in the month of Bhadra (August-September), during the eighth tithi of the dark fortnight, when Mercury, Taurus, and the star, Rohini, were on the horizon, and the planets were in harsana-yoga, in the middle of the night, when everything was covered with darkness and the moon was rising, in Vasudeva's palace, Lord Hari appeared from Devaki as in a yajña, fire appears from arani wood."

— Garga Samhita

The constellations of the ecliptic are described as the ventral and dorsal parts of the body of Lord Visnu. The first nine constellations from Aries to Cancer are described as the iravata vithi, the second nine constellations from Leo to Scorpio are described as the jaradgavi vithi and the last nine constellations from Sagittarius to Pisces as visavanara vithi. Each of the three streets is again subdivided into three streets totalling to nine.

Sometimes the twenty-seven constellations are worshipped as Lord Vasudeva in Naksatra Purusa Puja (Matsya Purana 54.1.32) starting with Mula constellation as his feet and Mrgasira as his eyes, Citrà and Satabhisa as his face, forehead and so on. The planets of our solar system are described as the different parts of Simsumara.

The southern constellation Canopus is described as his upper jaw and Mensa as his lower jaw. The entire cosmos from northern Polaris to southern Mensa are inversely indicating the vertically downward evolution of Para-Brahman as indicated in Gitagovinda.
