O sinless one.
O sinless Uddhava, among the best of snakes I am Anantadeva, and among those animals with sharp horns or teeth I am the lion. Among the social orders I am the fourth, or the renounced order of life, and among the occupational divisions I am the first, the brāhmaṇas.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O sinless Uddhava! Among the best of snakes, I am Anantadeva, and among those animals with sharp horns, I am the black deer. Among animals with teeth, I am the lion. Among the āśramas, I am sannyāsa, and among the varṇas, I am the brāhmaṇa. Among animals with horns I am the black deer, and among animals with teeth I am the lion. The fourth āśrama is sannyāsa. The first varṇa is brāhmaṇa.
