Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 9: The Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret

Bhagavad Gita 9.18

gatirbhartā prabhuḥ sākṣī nivāsaḥ śaraṇaṃ suhṛt | prabhavaḥ pralayaḥ sthānaṃ nidhānaṃ bījamavyayam ||

I am the goal, the sustainer, the lord, the witness, the home, the refuge, and the friend. I am the origin and the dissolution, the ground, the resting place, and the imperishable seed.

Modern context

Twelve names follow in one breath: goal, sustainer, lord, witness, home, refuge, friend, origin, dissolution, ground, resting place, imperishable seed. A person in need can find the one that fits. The lost can hold onto 'goal'; the frightened onto 'refuge'; the lonely onto 'friend'; the homeless onto 'home'. The list is generous because human need is various.
