TRANSLATION Of the celestial
Naga snakes I am Ananta; of the aquatic deities I am Varuna. Of departed
ancestors I am Aryama, and among the dispensers of law I am Yama, lord
of death.
PURPORT Among the many
celestial Naga serpents, Ananta is the greatest, as is Varuna among the
aquatics. They both represent Krsna. There is also a planet of trees presided
over by Aryama, who represents Krsna. There are many living entities who
give punishment to the miscreants, and among them Yama is the chief. Yama
is situated in a planet near this earthly planet, and after death those
who are very sinful are taken there, and Yama arranges different kinds
of punishments for them.
