I am the wind among purifiers; Rāma among weapon-bearers; the shark among fish, and the Ganges among rivers.

Pavatām — of those who purify — pavanaḥ — the wind. Śastra-bhṛtām — of those who bear weapons — rāmaḥ — Śrī Rāma of Ayodhyā, incarnation of the Lord.

Jhaṣāṇām — of great fish — makaraḥ — the shark or sea monster. Srotasām — of rivers — jāhnavī — the Ganges, descended from heaven by Bhagīratha’s penance.

The Lord includes His own incarnations among the vibhūtis.
