Bhagavad Gita 10.29

अनन्तश्चास्मि नागानां वरुणो यादसामहम्। पितृ़णामर्यमा चास्मि यमः संयमतामहम्॥

anantaśh chāsmi nāgānāṁ varuṇo yādasām aham pitṝīṇām aryamā chāsmi yamaḥ sanyamatām aham

Translation

And I am Ananta of Nâgas, Varuna of sea-dwellers I; and of ancestors Aryaman; Yama of governors am I.

What it means

Among the serpent-lords, Ananta; among water-dwellers, Varuna; among the ancestors, Aryaman; among enforcers, Yama. Order in the hidden realms is named too. Governance itself has a divine archetype.

Try this today

The endless one, the sea-lord, the forefather, the judge - governance included.

Something to reflect on

What hidden order governs the parts of my life I cannot see?
