Of the Ādityas I am Viṣṇu, of the luminaries the radiant sun; of the Maruts I am Marīci, and of the stars I am the moon.

The specific enumeration of vibhūtis begins. The ādityāḥ — twelve sons of Aditi, solar deities — the Lord is Viṣṇu, the principal.

Jyotiṣām — luminous bodies — raviḥ aṃśumān — the sun with its rays. The marutaḥ — wind gods — Marīci is the principal.

Nakṣatrāṇām — lunar constellations — śaśī — the moon — presides over the 27 constellations.
