Among the purifiers (or the speeders) I am the wind; Rama among the warriors am I; among the fishes I am the shark; among the streams I am the Ganga.

Among purifiers I am the wind; among wielders of weapons, Rama. Among sea creatures I am the makara, and among rivers I am the Jahnavi.

The wind is named as the purifier among things that cleanse. Among those who bear weapons Krishna is Rama, the hero of the Ramayana, honoured as the ideal of righteous strength, though some readers take the name to mean Parashurama, another famed warrior. The makara is a great sea creature of Indian art and legend, often pictured as crocodile-like. Among rivers he is the Jahnavi, the Ganga, named after the sage Jahnu. For Arjuna the bowman, the figure of Rama is especially meaningful: an archer who fought only for dharma.
