The Deliverance of Nalakūvara and Maṇigrīva
Yamala-Arjuna Līlā Prelude and Culmination
त्वमेक: सर्वभूतानां देहास्वात्मेन्द्रियेश्वर: । त्वमेव कालो भगवान् विष्णुरव्यय ईश्वर: ॥ ३० ॥ त्वं महान् प्रकृति: सूक्ष्मा रज:सत्त्वतमोमयी । त्वमेव पुरुषोऽध्यक्ष: सर्वक्षेत्रविकारवित् ॥ ३१ ॥
tvam ekaḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ dehāsv-ātmendriyeśvaraḥ tvam eva kālo bhagavān viṣṇur avyaya īśvaraḥ
You are the subtle Mahat‑prakṛti, constituted of rajas, sattva, and tamas. You are the presiding Puruṣa, the Paramātmā, who knows every transformation within the heart‑field of all beings.
Śrīpāda Madhvācārya has quoted from the Vāmana Purāṇa as follows:
This verse states that Krishna alone is the indwelling Self and the Lord of the senses within the bodies of all beings, affirming His Paramatma feature.
They recognize that the child Krishna of Vraja is not merely human—He is the same imperishable Supreme Lord Viṣṇu who governs creation through time.
Cultivate mindfulness and restraint by remembering that the senses and their power ultimately belong to the Divine indweller, encouraging ethical choices and devotion.
