Chapter 10 verse 23
“Amongst the Rudras know me to be Shankar; amongst the demons I am Kuber. I am Agni amongst the Vasus and Meru amongst the mountains.”
Continuing to call out that even though all his creations represent Him, the best of his creation clearly illustrate his glories in various forms. Out of the 11 forms of Rudra enumerated in the puranas, Shankara is the most important and prevalent. Among the semi divine demons who like to acquire wealth and hoard it, kubera is the greatest indicating that the Lord is the creator, preserver of all wealth there is in this multi-verse. Among the eight Vasus—land, water, fire, air, space, sun, moon, and stars, agni (fire) represents His resplendent brightness and heat. Mount Meru is the celestial mountain peak which is the center of the universe around which all celestial bodies are supposed to be rotating. Thus among the mountains Lord represents nothing less than Meru. The import of these references from Lord is to try and comprehend His glories (vibhuti).
