Chapter 10 verse 24
“O Arjun, amongst priests I am Brihaspati; amongst warrior chiefs I am Kartikeya; and amongst reservoirs of water know me to be the ocean.”
The important of these statements from the Lord is to try and comprehend the glories of His divinity and Supreme Being. All these positions he is referring to could be permanent or not since it is created and sustained by Him alone. However these comparisons have reached the pinnacle of their prowess and existence due to the grace of almighty. In a different verse of Bhagavat Gita, Krishna refers to the best of rishis as Kapila as well. In Srimad Bhagavatam, he refers to the best of priests as sage Vashista. It is not the individual who is important but the reflection of the resplendent glory of the Supreme Being in these individuals which are to be noted. I personally believe that these references do not lend justice to the immense vastness of Lord’s glories. Obviously words, similes and other hyperbole cannot capture His universality, omniscience and omnipresence.
