Siya ang Rambhā—kaibig-ibig at mapang-akit; Siya ang May Mukhang-Lotus; ang Tagapaglikha ng karwahe; ang Pinuno ng mga pangkat; ang Mapalad na Panginoon. Siya’y makapangyarihan sa labanan ng karwahe, kamangha-mangha sa anyong-karwahe, tunay na malakas ang bisig, at umuugong na parang dagundong ng karwahe—ang Pati, ang Panginoong gumagabay sa paśu upang makatawid lampas sa pāśa.
