Vayu Thou art, and He who keeps the prison Of Narak, Yama dark; And Agni’s shining spark; Varuna’s waves are Thy waves. Moon and starlight Are Thine! Prajapati Art Thou, and ’tis to Thee They knelt in worshipping the old world’s far light, The first of mortal men.
There are many things here that Krishna declares himself to be. He claims to be Vayu (the wind), Yama (the lord of death), Agni (fire), Varuna (the ocean), and Prajapati (the creator), through the concept of Vishvarupa, Krishna's universal form. This reminds me of the Abkallu in ancient Mesopotamian mythology. Similarly, the Abkallu, or Akkadian: 𒉽𒂗𒆠 apkallu, were semi-divine beings who were thought to transmit divine wisdom to kings, in order to ensure the maintenance of cosmic order, just as Krishna's role depicted here is the source of cosmic balance and order. In short, both figures serve as divine intermediaries between humans and the cosmos. Their wisdom-bearing roles share striking similarities.
