[...] Verse 28 is particularly eloquent in describing and encapsulating all his nurturing and protecting qualities, which are compared to those present everywhere in nature itself—as the mountain from which originate all the streams of knowledge, the tree under which the weary traveler wandering in ²õ²¹á¹ƒsÄå°ù²¹ takes rest, the rising sun that keeps the illusionary darkness of those with distorted views (nikhila-kumati) at bay and the full moon that brings to high tide the ocean of the Vedas.
