kālaneminihā vīraḥ śauriḥ śūrajaneśvaraḥ | trilokātmā trilokeśaḥ keśavaḥ keśihā hariḥ ||
Bhīṣma dit : « Il est le tueur de Kālanemi ; un héros sans égal ; Śauri, né dans la lignée des Śūra ; le seigneur parmi les vaillants ; l’Âme intime des trois mondes et le souverain des trois mondes ; Keśava ; le tueur de Keśin ; Hari, qui enlève le péché par le seul fait qu’on se souvienne de Lui. »

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches devotional recollection and theological recognition: Kṛṣṇa is praised as both a heroic protector who destroys demonic forces and as the indwelling Self and sovereign of the cosmos; remembering Hari is presented as ethically purifying, removing sin and strengthening dharmic orientation.
Bhīṣma, in the Anuśāsana Parva’s devotional and instructional context, recites a chain of divine epithets for Kṛṣṇa/Viṣṇu—linking mythic deeds (slaying Kālanemi and Keśin) with cosmic lordship (trilokātmā, trilokeśa) to extol him as the supreme refuge.
