TEXT 29
- अनन्तश्चास्मि नागानां वरुणो यादसामहम् ।
- पितॄणामर्यमा चास्मि यमः संयमतामहम् ॥२९॥
- anantaś cāsmi nāgānāṁ
- varuṇo yādasām aham
- pitṟṇām aryamā cāsmi
- yamaḥ saṁyamatām aham
anantaḥAnanta — Ananta; caalso — also; asmiI am — I am; nāgānāmof the many-hooded serpents — of the many-hooded serpents; varuṇaḥthe demigod controlling the water — the demigod controlling the water; yādasāmof all aquatics — of all aquatics; ahamI am — I am; pitṟṇāmof the ancestors — of the ancestors; aryamāAryamā — Aryamā; caalso — also; asmiI am — I am; yamaḥthe controller of death — the controller of death; saṁyamatāmof all regulators — of all regulators; ahamI am — I am.
Of the many-hooded Nāgas I am Ananta, and among the aquatics I am the demigod Varuṇa. Of departed ancestors I am Aryamā, and among the dispensers of law I am Yama, the lord of death.
Among the many-hooded Nāga serpents, Ananta is the greatest, as is the demigod Varuṇa among the aquatics. They both represent Kṛṣṇa. There is also a planet of Pitās, ancestors, presided over by Aryamā, who represents Kṛṣṇa. There are many living entities who give punishment to the miscreants, and among them Yama is the chief. Yama is situated in a planet near this earthly planet. After death those who are very sinful are taken there, and Yama arranges different kinds of punishments for them.
