Shloka 27
Kṛṣṇa’s Dhyāna and the Prompt to Question Bhīṣma (कृष्णध्यानं भीष्मप्रश्नप्रेरणा च)
भवांश्व॒ कर्ता लोकानां यद् ब्रवीत्यरिसूदन । तथा तदनभिध्येयं वाक्यं यादवनन्दन,'शत्रुसूदन! यादवनन्दन! आप सम्पूर्ण जगतके विधाता हैं। आप जो कुछ कह रहे हैं, उसमें भी सोचने-विचारनेकी आवश्यकता नहीं है
bhavān hi kartā lokānāṁ yad bravīty arisūdana | tathā tad anabhidhyeyaṁ vākyaṁ yādavanandana ||
“O slayer of foes, you are indeed the maker and ordainer of the worlds. Whatever you declare is to be accepted as it stands; it is not a statement that calls for further suspicion or second-guessing, O delight of the Yādavas.”
वासुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the ethical stance of trusting a supremely authoritative speaker: when the one who upholds and orders the worlds speaks, his word is to be received without anxious doubt or over-deliberation. It frames obedience and confidence in righteous guidance as a virtue, especially when the speaker is recognized as the cosmic ordainer.
Vāsudeva addresses the figure called Arisūdana/Yādavanandana (epithets commonly used for Kṛṣṇa), affirming his cosmic status as the maker of the worlds. On that basis, Vāsudeva declares that whatever he says should be accepted as decisive and not treated as something requiring further suspicion or debate.
