Chapter 10 • Verse 23
रुद्राणां शङ्करश्चास्मि वित्तेशो यक्षरक्षसाम्। वसूनां पावकश्चास्मि मेरुः शिखरिणामहम्॥
rudrāṇāṁ śhaṅkaraśh chāsmi vitteśho yakṣha-rakṣhasām vasūnāṁ pāvakaśh chāsmi meruḥ śhikhariṇām aham
Meaning
Of the Rudras, I am Shankara (Shiva); of the Yakshas and Rakshasas, I am Kubera; of the Vasus, I am fire; and of mountains, I am Meru.
Among Rudras, Shiva the auspicious; among nature spirits, Kubera the wealthy lord; among Vasus, fire the purifying; among mountains, Meru the cosmic axis. Each domain has its peak expression — that expression is Krishna.
Strength Reflection
"Every domain of existence has its highest expression, pointing to the Divine."
Devotional Surrender
Lord, You are Shiva, the cosmic mountain, the sacred fire. I see You in all peaks.
