8. Modes of Existence / D. Universals / 6. Platonic Forms / a. Platonic Forms

7996	I am all the beauty and goodness of things, says Krishna [Anon (Bhag)]
	Full Idea: I am the beauty of all things beautiful; ...I am the goodness of those who are good, says Krishna.
	From: Anon (Bhag) (The Bhagavad Gita [c.500 BCE], 10.36)
	A reaction: Another attempt to annexe everything which is admirable to the nature of God. This sounds strikingly Platonic (c.f. Idea 7992, which seems Aristotelian). One scholar dates the text to 150 BCE. I think there is influence, one way or the other.
