9.18 Goal, witness, refuge, friend Krishna speaks

गतिर्भर्ता प्रभुः साक्षी निवासः शरणं सुहृत्
प्रभवः प्रलयः स्थानं निधानं बीजमव्ययम्

gatir bhartā prabhuḥ sākṣhī nivāsaḥ śharaṇaṁ suhṛit
prabhavaḥ pralayaḥ sthānaṁ nidhānaṁ bījam avyayam

I am the goal, the upholder, the lord, the witness, the dwelling, the refuge, the friend; the origin, the dissolution, the ground, the resting place, and the imperishable seed.
