Verse 34

The Yoga of Divine Glories

I am all-devouring death, and I am the generating principle of all that is yet to be. Among women I am fame, fortune, fine speech, memory, intelligence, steadfastness and patience.

Context & Meaning

Among forces that pervade all things: all-consuming death AND the generating principle of all future beings — the full sweep of time from dissolution to creation. Among the noblest qualities of womanhood: fame, beauty, eloquent speech, memory, intelligence, steadfastness, and patience. The Divine is the best of every quality, the fullest expression of every virtue.
