The Yoga of Divine Glories

Krishna concludes this section of manifestations by revealing His presence in deceptive practices, splendor, victory, determination, and goodness. 'Dyūtaṁ chalayatām asmi'—among deceptive practices, I am the game of dice. Even in what seems negative, Krishna is present. 'Tejas tejasvinām aham'—among the splendid, I am splendor. Splendor is the radiance that comes from the source. 'Jayo 'smi vyavasāyo 'smi'—I am victory, I am determination. Victory and determination come from the source. 'Sattvaṁ sattvavatām aham'—I am the goodness of the virtuous. Goodness is a manifestation of the source. This verse shows Krishna as present even in what seems negative (dice), and as the source of splendor, victory, determination, and goodness.
