प्रभवौ सर्वविद्यानां सर्वज्ञौ जगदीश्वरौ । नान्यसिद्धामलं ज्ञानं गूहमानौ नरेहितै: ॥ ३० ॥ अथो गुरुकुले वासमिच्छन्तावुपजग्मतु: । काश्यं सान्दीपनिं नाम ह्यवन्तिपुरवासिनम् ॥ ३१ ॥

あらゆる学芸の根源にして全知、宇宙の主であるお二方は、人間さながらの振る舞いによって生得の完全清浄なる智を覆い、次に師の学舎に住まうことを望まれた。かくして、アヴァンティの都に住むカ―シー出身のサーンディーパニ牟尼のもとへ赴かれた。
FAQs
This verse explains that although Kṛṣṇa (with Balarāma) is the all-knowing Lord and the source of all knowledge, He conceals His perfect wisdom by acting like an ordinary human, so His pastimes can teach humility and proper conduct.
It states They are jagad-īśvara (Lords of the universe) and sarva-jña (all-knowing), yet They voluntarily cover that majesty through human-like behavior.
Even with ability or knowledge, practice humility—avoid display for ego, and let actions and character quietly reflect wisdom.
