Anantash casmi naganam varunho yidasam aham, pitrinam aryama casmi yamah samyamatam aham

Among the Nagas (multi-hooded serpents) I am Ananta; among aquatic beings I am Varuna; among the forefathers I am Aryama; and among the lords of law and order I am Yama. Ananta, the infinite serpent who supports the cosmos, embodies the Lord's infinite sustaining power.

  • Ananta the infinite serpent represents the Lord as the cosmic sustainer
  • Varuna embodies divine cosmic order and law over the aquatic realm
  • Yama as the lord of dharma reflects the divine principle of justice
