Adhyāya 33: Antarvedī-Samāgama, Arghya-Nirṇaya, and Śiśupāla’s Objection
जगतस्तस्थुषां श्रेष्ठ: प्रभवश्वाप्ययश्न ह । भूतभव्यभवन्नाथ: केशव: केशिसूदन:
jagatas tasthuṣāṃ śreṣṭhaḥ prabhavaś cāpyayaś ca ha | bhūtabhavyabhavannāthaḥ keśavaḥ keśisūdanaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana dijo: Keśava, vencedor del demonio Keśin, es el más excelso entre todo lo que se mueve y todo lo que permanece inmóvil. Él es la fuente de donde los seres nacen y el fundamento en el que se disuelven. Es el soberano del pasado, del presente y del porvenir, señor de los tres tiempos.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse presents Kṛṣṇa (Keśava) as the supreme principle: the origin and dissolution of all beings, and the ruler of time itself (past, present, future). Ethically, it frames worldly power and events as subordinate to a higher cosmic governance, encouraging reverence and alignment with dharma.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, offers a eulogistic identification of Kṛṣṇa’s cosmic status—describing him as supreme over all beings (moving and unmoving) and invoking his heroic epithet 'Keśisūdana' to connect divine sovereignty with concrete deeds.
