Sandhi Notes

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

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.

What is happening in the narrative?

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.
