Manifest–Unmanifest Discrimination and the Supreme Path of Withdrawal
त्रैलोक्यं सर्वभूतेशे चक्रवत्परिवर्तते । तुम भी यह सब सुननेके योग्य अधिकारी हो; अतः भगवान् श्रीकृष्णका जो कल्याणमय उत्कृष्ट माहात्म्य है
trailokyaṁ sarvabhūteśe cakravat parivartate |
Bhishma dijo: «Los tres mundos giran como una rueda dentro de Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Señor de todos los seres. Eres digno de oír esto; por ello escucha la grandeza auspiciosa y suprema de Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Esta rueda del tiempo, sin comienzo ni fin—que se manifiesta como creación y disolución—es su propia forma; y en Él los tres mundos giran incesantemente como una rueda.»

Educational Q&A
Kṛṣṇa is presented as the cosmic Lord in whom the entire universe and the cyclical wheel of time (creation and dissolution) operate; recognizing this inspires reverence, devotion, and a dharmic perspective on impermanence and cosmic order.
Bhīṣma, instructing the listener in Śānti Parva, introduces Kṛṣṇa’s supreme majesty and frames the cosmos as revolving within Him, emphasizing His role as the ground of all worlds and the cycle of time.
