Uitleg

Ananta, also called Shesha, is the endless serpent on whom Vishnu rests, distinguished from the ordinary serpents of the previous verse. Varuna is the god of the waters and guardian of cosmic order. Aryaman is chief among the pitṛs, the honoured ancestors. Yama, the god of death, is named among those who restrain or govern, since he holds all beings to account. The verse moves from the infinite to the deep, to the line of forebears, and finally to death itself. Even the one who ends lives is a place where the divine can be recognised.
