Among subjugators (kalayatam) I am time. Among animals I am the lion (mrgendrah). Among birds I am Garuda (vainateyah).


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Among those born in  demoniac  lines,  Lord  Krishnas  vibhuti  or  divine,
transcendental opulence is the great devotee Prahlada who although in  spite
of being born from demonic parents was totally devoted to the  Supreme  Lord
in loving devotion beginning when he was still in his mothers womb.  Of  all
controllers His vibhuti is time. Of beasts His vibhuti is mrgendro the  lion
the king of all beasts and of birds His vibhuti is vainateyah or the son  of
Vinata known as Garuda the king of all birds and the Supreme Lords  carrier.
