more adorable than thou.  Thou art he who utters deep roars (in the form of Ocean).  Thou art that which is so deep that no one can measure it (because thou art of the form of space).  Thou art he whose puissance and the might of whose companions and of the bull have never been measured by anybody.  Thou art the tree of the world (whose roots extend upwards and branches hang downwards).  Thou art the banian.[115] Thou art he that sleeps on a human leaf when the universe, after dissolution, becomes one infinite expanse of water.  Thou art he that shows compassion to all worshippers assuming as thou listest, the form of Hari or Hara or Ganesa or Arka or Agni or Wind, etc.  Thou art possessed of teeth that are exceedingly sharp (since thou art competent to chew innumerable worlds even as one munches nuts and swallows them speedily).  Thou art of vast dimensions in respect of thy forms.  Thou art possessed of a mouth that is hast enough to swallow the universe at once.  Thou art he whose troops are adored everywhere.[116] Thou art he who dispelled all the fears of the deities when the prince of elephants had to be captured.  Thou art the seed of the universe.  Thou art he who has for his vehicle the same bull that forms again the device on his banner in battle.  Thou hast Agni for thy soul.  Thou art Surya who has green steeds yoked unto his car.  Thou art the friend of Jiva.  Thou art he that is conversant with the proper time for the accomplishment of all religious acts.  Thou art he unto whom Vishnu paid his adorations (for obtaining his celebrated discus).  Thou art the sacrifice being in the form of Vishnu.  Thou art the ocean.  Thou art the Barabanala Mare’s head that ranges within the ocean, ceaselessly vomitting fire and drinking the saline waters as if they were sacrificial butter.  Thou art Wind, the friend of Agni.  Thou art of tranquil soul like the ocean when at rest and unstirred by the mildest breeze.  Thou art Agni that drinks the libations of clarified butter poured in sacrifices with the aid of Mantras.  Thou art he whom it is difficult to approach.  Thou art he whose effulgence spreads over the infinite universe.  Thou art ever skilful in battle.  Thou art well conversant with the time when one should engage in battle so that victory may be achieved.  Thou art that science which treats of the motions of heavenly bodies.[117] Thou art of the form of success or victory.  Thou art he whose body is Time (for thy body is never subject to destruction).  Thou art a householder for thou wearest a tuft of hair on thy head Thou art a Sanyasin for thy head is bald.  Thou wearest matted locks on thy head (being, as thou art, a Vanaprastha).[118] Thou art distinguished for thy fiery rays (for the effulgent path by which the righteous proceed is identical with thee).  Thou art he that appears in the firmament in the heart encased in the body of every creature.[119] Thou art he who enters into the cranium (brain) of every creature.  Thou bearest the wrinkles of age.
