Self-Reflection Prompts
- Yama represents the ultimate leveler: death. He treats the king and the beggar with absolute equality. How does seeing God as Yama help us value moral integrity over temporary worldly power?
- Ananta literally means 'infinite'. He holds the earth on His hood without any strain. How can we cultivate this unshakeable patience in our lives?

10.29
अनन्तश्चास्मि नागानां वरुणो यादसामहम्
Ananta is the support of the earth, symbolizing stability. Varuna is the deity of waters. Aryaman is the king of the Manes (ancestors). Yama is the god of death who judges and dispenses the fruits of actions with absolute, unswerving justice. He is the ultimate controller.
