अन्तरहिते भगवति सानुगे यादवेश्वर । ऋषिराश्रममागम्य ममैतत् प्रोक्ततानिह,यादवेश्वर! जब पार्षदोंसहित भगवान् अन्तर्धान हो गये, तब ऋषिने मेरे आश्रमपर आकर यहाँ मुझसे ये सब बातें बतायीं
antarhite bhagavati sānuge yādaveśvara | ṛṣir āśramam āgamya mamaitat proktavān iha ||
Wahai Penguasa kaum Yadawa, ketika Sang Bhagawan lenyap dari pandangan bersama para pengiring-Nya, sang resi datang ke pertapaanku dan di sini menceritakan kepadaku semua perkara itu.

Educational Q&A
When direct divine presence is no longer visible, dharma is preserved through reliable testimony: sages who have seen or learned the truth transmit it carefully, and listeners receive it with discipline. The verse highlights the ethical importance of faithful narration and lineage-based transmission.
Vāyudeva addresses Kṛṣṇa as Yādaveśvara and recounts that after the Lord vanished from sight along with His attendants, a sage came to Vāyudeva’s hermitage and reported all the relevant events to him.
