Thou art of the form of belief.  Thou art he that has mountains for his bow (or weapons in battle).  Thou art he that is full of affection to all creatures like a parent towards his offspring.  Thou art he that has no affection.  Thou art unvanquished.  Thou art exceedingly devoted to (Yoga) contemplation.[142] Thou art of the form of the tree of the world.[143] Thou art he that is indicated by the tree of the world.[144] Thou art never satiated when eating (because of thy being of the form of fire, for of all elements, fire is never satiated with the quantity offered it for consumption).  Thou art he that has the Wind for thy vehicle for going from place to place (in consequence of thy identity with fire).  Thou art he that rangest over hills and little eminences.  Thou art he that has his residence on the mountains of Meru.  Thou art the chief of the celestials.  Thou hast the Atharvans for thy head.  Thou hast the Samans for thy mouth.  Thou hast the thousand Richs for thy immeasurable eyes.  Thou hast the Yajushes for thy feet and hands.[145] Thou art the Upanishads.  Thou art the entire body of rituals (occurring in the scriptures).  Thou art all that is mobile.  Thou art he whose solicitations are never unfulfilled.  Thou art he who is always inclined to grace.  Thou art he that is of beautiful form.  Thou art of the form of the good that one does to another.  Thou art that which is dear.  Thou art he that always advances towards thy devotees (in proportion as these advance for meeting thee).  Thou art gold and other precious metals that are held dear by all.  Thy effulgence is like that of burnished gold.  Thou art the navel (of the universe).  Thou art he that makes the fruits of sacrifices grow (for the benefit of those that perform sacrifices to thy glory).  Thou art of the form of that faith and devotion which the righteous have in respect of sacrifices.  Thou art the artificer of the universe.  Thou art all that is immobile (in the form of mountains and other inert objects).  Thou art the two and ten stages of life through which a person passes.[146] Thou art he that causes fright (by assuming the intermediate states between the ten enumerated).  Thou art the beginning of all things.  Thou art he that unites Jiva with Supreme Brahman through Yoga.  Thou art identifiable with that Yoga which causes such a union between Jiva and Supreme Brahman.  Thou art unmanifest (being the deepest stupefaction).  Thou art the presiding deity of the fourth age (in consequence of thy identity with lust and wrath and cupidity and other evil passions that flow from that deity).[147] Thou art eternal Time (because of thy being of the form of that ceaseless succession of birth and death that goes on in the universe).  Thou art of the form of the Tortoise.[148] Thou art worshipped by the Destroyer himself.  Thou livest in the midst of associates.  Thou admittest thy devotees as members of thy Gana.  Thou hast Brahma himself for the driver of thy car.  Thou sleepest
