# '''Bahudevataradhana (Many Deities)''' : The presence of vast host of Devatas does not obscure the Unity of Brahman (Ishvara), in his triple form as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva than does the vast hosts of men, animals, plants and minerals. As said in the famous Shruti mantra <blockquote>इन्द्रं मित्रं वरुणमग्निमाहु॒रथो दिव्यः स सुपर्णो गरुत्मान् । एकं सद् विप्रा बहु॒धा वदन्त्यग्निं यमं मातरिश्वानमाहुः ॥४६॥ (Rig. Veda. 1.164.46)</blockquote>Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni they call Him, and the golden feathered Garutman. Of what is One, sages speak as manifold, they call Him Agni, Yama, Matarishva. So also in the Smrti <blockquote>आत्मैव देवताः सर्वाः सर्वं आत्मन्यवस्थितम् । आत्मा हि जनयत्येषां कर्मयोगं शरीरिणाम् । । १२.११९</blockquote>ātmaiva devatāḥ sarvāḥ sarvaṁ ātmanyavasthitam । ātmā hi janayatyeṣāṁ karmayogaṁ śarīriṇām । । 12.119 All the devatas are indeed the Self, all rests on the Self.
