नक्षत्रविग्रहमतिर्गुणबुद्धिर्लयोऽगमः। प्रजापतिर्विश्वबाहुर्विभागः सर्वगोऽमुखः॥
You are an astrologer because your understanding is always directed towards the motion of the wheel of Time which is made up of the luminaries in the sky; you are the individual soul whose understanding is directed to things that are the outcome of the qualities of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas; you are that in which all things merge when dissolutions sets in; you are stable and fixed, there being nothing in you which is subject to change or mutation of any sort, you are the Lord of all creatures; your arms extend all over the great universe; you appear in numberless forms which are but portions of yourself, you pervade all things; you have no mouth.
