Krishna breaks down His presence into the fundamentals of language and time. He declares: Among all the letters of the alphabet (akṣarāṇām), I am the primary letter 'A' (akāro 'smi). Among grammar and compound words (sāmāsikasya ca), I am the dual compound (dvandvaḥ) where both words retain equal importance. I alone am the eternal, inexhaustible Time (aham eva akṣayaḥ kālo). And among all creators and maintainers, I am the four-headed Brahma (dhātāhaṃ), whose faces look in all directions simultaneously (viśvato-mukhaḥ).
