Verse 10.30
Verse 10.30: “And Prahlada I am of the Diti-born (Demons), I am Time of the calculation-makers; of mid beasts I am Lion (the Lord of beasts), and the Vinata-born (Eagle) of the winged ones. (247)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Know that of the Daitya race (Demons race) I am Prahlada who thus was unsullied by the stuff the demons are made of. I am the Great Kala (Time)”, said Gopala “amongst those that wrap and wear all things away, (kalitayāmājī). I am the Tiger (śārdūla). (Note—It is lion—Mrigendra in the original Gita) amongst the wild beasts. Amongst the winged creatures I am Garuda, who thus has the power to carry me on his back.
