Rudranam shankarash casmi vitesho yaksha-rakshasam, vasünam pavakash casmi meruh shikhari-nam aham

Among the Rudras I am Shankara; among the Yakshas and Rakshasas I am Kubera; among the Vasus I am Agni (fire); and among mountains I am Mount Meru. The Lord's vibhutis span all realms — divine, semi-divine, elemental, and geographical — pointing to the all-pervading divine presence.

  • The Lord is the supreme expression of divine power in every realm
  • Fire (Agni) represents the divine energy of purification and transformation
  • Mount Meru, as the cosmic mountain, is a symbol of divine axis and stability
