Dyutam chalayatam asmi tejas tejasvinam aham, jayo 'smi vyavasayo 'smi sattvam sattvavatam aham

I am the gambling of the deceitful; I am the splendour of the splendid; I am victory; I am enterprise; and I am the strength of the strong. Even in competitive and deceptive endeavours the Lord is present as the element of excellence — divine energy pervades even ambiguous human activities.

  • The Lord's energy pervades all human endeavours, even ambiguous ones
  • Victory and enterprise are divine in essence when rooted in strength and purpose
  • Sattvic strength — clarity, virtue, and power — is a primary divine manifestation
