In the 10th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, known as the Vibhuti Yoga (The Yoga of Divine Glories), Lord Krishna reveals his divine manifestations, describing how he represents the best or most significant of various beings and phenomena. When referring to horses, Krishna says:
"Aśvattamaham", meaning "Among horses, I am Ucchaihshravas."
Here, Krishna identifies himself with Ucchaihshravas, the celestial horse that emerged during the churning of the ocean of milk (Samudra Manthan). Ucchaihshravas is considered the king of horses and is known for its exceptional speed, beauty, and strength. This horse is often depicted as white and divine, symbolizing majesty and power.
In this way, Krishna emphasizes that among all horses, Ucchaihshravas best represents his divine power and magnificence.
