A query on the Bhagavad Gita

[Guest guest]

In BG, 10.20, Sri Krishna says, of the Vedic hymns, he is the

Vrihatsam and the conquering double eight in the dice - can someone

tell me what the Vrihatsam hymn is, and the symbolism of the double eight?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

" Song am I,

 

And Memory, and Patience; and Craft, and Constancy:

Of Vedic hymns the Vrihatsam, of metres Gayatri,

Of months the Margasirsha, of all the seasons three

The flower-wreathed Spring; in dicer's-play the conquering

Double-Eight... "
