Uchchaihshravasam Ashvanam

Uchchaihshravas — the divine white horse that emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean. Amritodbhavam means born alongside the nectar. That is what sets it apart from all other horses: its origin is divine. Airavata — Indra's white elephant, said to have four tusks and the power to summon clouds.

Among humans, the king. A true king nourishes the people, protects them, upholds justice. The qualities of an ideal ruler mirror the qualities of the divine — fairness, compassion, and strength. That is why among all humans, the ruler is named as the vibhuti.

The story of the churning of the ocean appears in detail in the Bhagavata Purana and the Vishnu Purana. Both Uchchaihshravas and Airavata emerged from that cosmic event, which is why they are considered divine.

The Gita does not have a separate chapter on the duties of a king. But wherever kingship is mentioned, the ideal of noble governance is implied. Shloka 10.27 carries that same spirit.
