Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 10, Verse 27

उच्चैःश्रवसमश्वानां विद्धि माममृतोद्भवम् । ऐरावतं गजेन्द्राणां नराणां च नराधिपम् ॥ २७ ॥

uchchaiḥśhravasam aśhvānāṁ viddhi mām amṛitodbhavam airāvataṁ gajendrāṇāṁ narāṇāṁ cha narādhipam

Translation

Among horses, know me as Uchchaihshravas, born of the nectar; among lordly elephants, Airavata; and among men, the king.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

घोड़ों में अमृत के साथ उत्पन्न होने वाला उच्चैःश्रवा नामक घोड़ा, श्रेष्ठ हाथियों में ऐरावत नामक हाथी और मनुष्यों में राजा मुझको जान।

Commentary

Uchchaihshravas and Airavata both emerged from the churning of the ocean (samudra manthan). The king is included because a just ruler reflects God's role as protector.
