I am death that seizes all, and I am the origin of all that is yet to be. Among feminine qualities I am fame, prosperity, speech, memory, intelligence, steadfastness and patience.
Explanation
Krishna continues listing his manifestations (vibhūti) to Arjuna. He is both death, which takes everything, and the source of future beings, so he stands behind end and beginning alike. He then names seven qualities traditionally personified as feminine: fame (kīrti), prosperity or beauty (śrī), speech (vāk), memory (smṛti), intelligence (medhā), steadfastness (dhṛti) and patience (kṣamā).
