Chapter 10 verse 29
“Amongst the snakes I am Ananta; amongst aquatics I am Varuna. Amongst the departed ancestors I am Aryaman; amongst dispensers of law I am Yamaraja, the lord of death.”
Continuing to enumerate the reflection of his glories in His creation, Lord points to the greatest of all snakes. Ananta reminds us of the infinite glories of the Lord who utilizes Ananta as his resting place-Anathashayana-He who bed is the 1000 headed snake Ananta. Among the serpents, eldest son is Ananta. The king of serpents is Vasuki, a devotee of Shiva and adores His neck and Takshaka is the poisonous one who is famous for killing Parikshit. Among all water bodies across multi-verse, Varuna controls all of it and Lord’s glory is reflected in Varuna. Aryaman is the 3rd son of Aditi, mother of Adityas and officially is invoked in the Vedas for all ancestral offerings. Chief among the dispensers of laws of karma is Yamaraja, the god of death. He is also called Dharmaraja most appropriately since dharma is the pivotal foundation for all virtuous living.
