Of all trees I am the Ashvattha tree; of the divine sages I am Narada; of the Gandharvas I am Chitraratha; and among perfected beings I am the sage Kapila.

Among trees: the Ashvattha (sacred fig / Bodhi tree) — the tree of life, under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, sacred across traditions. Among divine sages: Narada — the celestial musician and supreme devotee, who carries divine love across all worlds. Among Gandharvas: Chitraratha — the most beautiful musician of heaven. Among perfected sages: Kapila — founder of the Sankhya system of philosophy.
