In the 15th chapter of the Gita, Krishna speaks of two principles in
the world: the "perishable" and the "imperishable". He refers to
himself as the All-Supreme or Purushottama who encompasses and
transcends both the perishable (comprising all creatures), and the
imperishable (or unchanging principle within them). Is this not a
claim to being God?
