यमाहुर्वासुदेवस्य रूपमात्मानमव्ययम् । वायुपाशैर्ध्रुवे बद्धं सर्वमेतच्च फाल्गुन
yamāhurvāsudevasya rūpamātmānamavyayam | vāyupāśairdhruve baddhaṃ sarvametacca phālguna
Yang mereka sebut Ātman yang tak binasa—itulah wujud Vāsudeva sendiri—Dialah yang mengikat seluruh ini pada Dhruva dengan ikatan angin, wahai Phālguna (Arjuna).
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced); verse contains an address to Phālguna (Arjuna) from an embedded narrative voice
Listener: Phālguna (Arjuna)
Scene: A cosmic tableau: Dhruva as a luminous fixed star at the zenith; concentric celestial spheres tethered by translucent wind-bonds; within/behind them a serene Vāsudeva-ātman radiance, while Arjuna (Phālguna) listens in reverent attention.
Cosmic stability is ultimately rooted in the imperishable Divine (Vāsudeva); dharma rests on the Eternal.
