Uccaihshravasam ashvanam viddhi mam amritodbhavam, airavantam gajendranam naranam ca naradhipam

Among horses know Me as Uccaihshrava, born from nectar; among great elephants I am Airavata; and among human beings I am the king. Uccaihshrava and Airavata, both arising from the churning of the cosmic ocean, represent divine excellence born of spiritual effort and grace.

  • Excellence born of spiritual effort and grace is a divine manifestation
  • The king among humans represents the highest of earthly responsibilities
  • Divine quality in any creature or being points back to its ultimate source
