喔,波利塔之子啊,應知我即是祭司中的首領——婆羅訶斯帕蒂。在將領中,我是斯坎達;在水域中,我是海洋。
O son of Prtha, know me to be Brhaspati, the foremost among the priests of kings. Among comanders of armies I am Skanda; among large expanses of water I am the sea.
婆羅訶斯帕蒂 (Brihaspati) 是眾神的首要祭司,也是因陀羅的家祭司。斯坎達 (Skanda) 即迦爾提凱亞 (Kartikeya) 或蘇布拉曼尼亞 (Subramanya主),他是眾神軍隊的統帥。在所有蓄水之物——天然水庫或湖泊中,我即是海洋。
