Thou bearest the bamboo flute.  Thou hast also the tabour.  Thou bearest the musical instrument called Tali.  Thou hast the wooden vessel used for husking grain.  Thou art he who covers that illusion which covers Yama.[120] Thou art an astrologer inasmuch as thy understanding is always directed towards the motion of the wheel of time which is made up of the luminaries in the firmament.  Thou art Jiva whose understanding is directed to things that are the result of the attributes of Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas.  Thou art that in which all things merge when dissolution overtakes them.  Thou art stable and fixed, there being nothing in thee that is subject to change or mutation of any kind.  Thou art the Lord of all creatures.  Thy arms extend all over the vast universe.  Thou art displayed in innumerable forms that are but fractions of thyself.  Thou pervadest all things.[121] Thou art he that has no mouth (for thou enjoyest not the objects of thy own creation).  Thou art he who frees thy creatures from the bonds of the world.  Thou art easily attainable.[122] Thou art he that manifested himself with a golden mail.[123] Thou art he that appears in the phallic emblem.  ’Thou art he that wanders in the forests in quest of fowls and animals.  Thou art he that wanders over the Earth.  Thou art, he that is omnipresent.  Thou art the blare that is produced by all the trumpets blown in the three worlds.  Thou art he that has all creatures for his relatives.[124] Thou art of the form of a snake (for thou art identical with the mighty Naga named Sesha).  Thou art he that lives in mountain caves (like Jaigishavya), or any other Yogin.  Thou art identical with Guha (the celestial generalissimo).  Thou wearest garlands of flowers.  Thou art he who enjoys the happiness that springs from the possession of worldly objects.[125] Thou art he from whom all creatures have derived their three states of birth, existence, and destruction.  Thou art he that upholds all things that exist or occur in the three stages of time viz., the Past, the Present, and the Future.  Thou art he that frees creatures from the effects of all acts belonging to previous lives as well as those accomplished in the present life and from all the bonds due to Ignorance and Desire.  Thou art he who is the binder or Asura chiefs.  Thou art he who is the slayer of foes in battle.[126] Thou art that which is attainable by knowledge alone.  Thou art Durvasas.  Thou art he who is waited upon and adored by all the righteous.  Thou art he who causes the fall of even Brahma and the others.  Thou art he that gives unto all creatures the just share of joy and grief that each deserves according to his own acts.  Thou art he that is incomparable.  Thou art well conversant with the shares that are given and appropriated in sacrifices.[127] Thou residest in every place.  Thou wanderest everywhere.  Thou art he that has mean vestments.[128] Thou art Vasava.  Thou art immortal.  Thou art identical with the Himavat mountains.  Thou art the maker
