TRANSLATION Of purifiers
I am the wind; of the wielders of weapons I am Rama; of fishes I am the
shark, and of flowing rivers I am the Ganges.
PURPORT Of all the aquatics
the shark is one of the biggest and is certainly the most dangerous to
man. Thus the shark represents Krsna. And of rivers, the greatest in India
is the Mother Ganges. Lord Ramacandra, of the Ramayana, an incarnation
of Krsna, is the mightest of warriors.
