गतिर्भर्ता प्रभुः साक्षी निवासः शरणं सुहृत् ।
प्रभवः प्रलयः स्थानं निधानं बीजमव्ययम्॥
तपाम्यहमहं वर्षं निगृह्णाम्युत्सृजामि च ।
अमृतं चैव मृत्युश्च सदसच्चाहमर्जुन ॥

Translation
I am the goal, the upholder, the Lord, the witness, the abode, the refuge I am the origin and the dissolution, the ground and the resting place and the imperishable seed and the friend. I create the heat and shower rains and withdraw them as well. Immortality and the mortality am I, Truth and the un-Truth am I, O Arjuna.
