Vibhūti-yoga in the Bhāgavata: The Lord’s Manifest Opulences and the Discipline of Control
नागेन्द्राणामनन्तोऽहं मृगेन्द्र: शृङ्गिदंष्ट्रिणाम् । आश्रमाणामहं तुर्यो वर्णानां प्रथमोऽनघ ॥ १९ ॥
nāgendrāṇām ananto ’haṁ mṛgendraḥ śṛṅgi-daṁṣṭriṇām āśramāṇām ahaṁ turyo varṇānāṁ prathamo ’nagha
罪なきウッダヴァよ、蛇王の中では我はアナンタデーヴァ、鋭い角や牙をもつ獣の中では我は獣王たる獅子である。四住期の中では我は第四のサンニャーサ(出家)、四姓の中では我は第一のブラーフマナである。
In this verse Krishna states that among the serpent-kings He is Ananta, showing that the greatest supports of cosmic order and devotion are His own manifestations and opulences.
While instructing Uddhava in the Uddhava Gita, Krishna describes His vibhutis (principal excellences) to help Uddhava see the Lord’s presence in the highest examples of creation and in the dharmic structure of human life.
Train the mind to remember God by recognizing excellence and sacred order—using daily encounters with greatness, discipline, and virtue as prompts for devotion and gratitude.
