is the bestower of fortune. He is sung with and without music by the hymns of the Rg, Yajus and
Sama by the sacrificial priests such as the Hota. Self-resplendent Paramatma realised by the

creation. He is the same Paramatma. He has been born as Devas, beasts etc; and will be born as
such in future too. He is the indweller of the hearts of all beings, is the witness to all and the
