who possessed of great fame (in consequence of the Righteousness of his behaviour).  Thou art the ornament of armies (being as thou art of the form of prowess and courage), Thou art he who is adorned with celestial ornaments.  Thou art Yoga.  Thou art he from whom flow eternal time measured by Yugas and Kalpas.  Thou art he who conveys all creatures from place.[167] Thou art of the form of Righteousness and sin and their intermixture (such as are displayed in the successive Yugas).  Thou art great and formless.  Thou art he who slew the mighty Asura that had approached against the sacred city of Varanasi in the form of an infuriate elephant of vast proportions.  Thou art of the form of death.  Thou givest to all creatures such fruition of their wishes as accords with their merits.  Thou art approachable.  Thou art conversant with all things that are beyond the ken of the senses.  Thou art conversant with the Tattwas (and therefore, thoroughly fixed).  Thou art he who incessantly shines in beauty.  Thou wearest garlands that stretch down from thy neck to the feet.  Thou art that Hara who has the Moon for his beautiful eye.  Thou art the salt ocean of vast expanse.  Thou art the first three Yugas (viz., Krita, Treta, and Dwapara).  Thou art he whose appearance is always fraught with advantage to others.  Thou art he who has three eyes (in the form of the scriptures, the preceptor, and meditation).  Thou art he whose forms are exceedingly subtile (being as thou art the subtile forms of the primal elements).  Thou art he whose ears are bored for wearing jewelled Kundalas.  Thou art the bearer of matted locks.  Thou art the point (in the alphabet) which indicates the nasal sound.  Thou art the two dots i.e., Visarga (in the Sanskrit alphabet which indicate the sound of the aspirated H).  Thou art possessed of an excellent face.  Thou art the shaft that is shot by the warrior for encompassing the destruction of his foe.  Thou art all the weapons that are used by warriors.  Thou art endued with patience capable of bearing all things.  Thou art he whose knowledge has arisen from the cessation of all physical and mental functions.[168] Thou art he who has become displayed as Truth in consequence of the cessation of all other faculties.  Thou art that note which, arising from the region called Gandhara, is exceedingly sweet to the ear.  Thou art he who is armed with the mighty bow (called Pinaka).  Thou art he who is the understanding and the desires that exist in all creatures, besides being the supreme upholder of all beings.  Thou art he from whom all acts flow.  Thou art that wind which rises at the time of the universal dissolution and which is capable of churning the entire universe even as the staff in the hands of the dairy-maid churns the milk in the milkpot.  Thou art he that is full.  Thou art he that sees all things.  Thou art the sound that arises from slapping one palm against another.  Thou art he the palm of whose hand serves as the dish
