ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā

इस पृथ्वीपर जो भी चराचर प्राणी हैं, उनके पिता-माता, प्रभु और उत्पत्तिस्थान भी आप ही हैं ।।

iha pṛthivyāṃ ye kecid carācarāḥ prāṇinaḥ santi teṣāṃ pitā-mātā prabhuś ca utpatti-sthānaṃ ca bhavān eva. evaṃ no vismayakaraṃ saṃśayaṃ madhusūdana; tvam evāhasi kalyāṇa vaktuṃ vahnir-vinirgamam. madhusūdana, tava mukhād agneḥ prādurbhāvo ’smākaṃ evam atīva vismayakaro ’bhavat; vayaṃ saṃśaye patitāḥ. kalyāṇamaya śrīkṛṣṇa, tvam eva kāraṇaṃ vaktvā asmākaṃ saṃśaya-vismaya-nivāraṇaṃ kartum arhasi.

ビーシュマは言った。「この地上のあらゆる存在—動くものも動かぬものも—その父母であり、主であり、また生起の根源であるのは、ただあなたのみ。ゆえに、マドゥスーダナよ、この驚くべき出来事は我らを疑いへと投げ込んだ。吉祥なる御方よ、火の出現を説き明かせるのは、ただあなたのみである。マドゥスーダナよ、あなたの口より火が顕れたことは、我らには比類なき奇瑞として映り、心は定まらぬ。祝福されたシュリー・クリシュナよ、その因を語り、我らの疑いと驚嘆とをともに払えるのは、ただあなたのみである。」

Educational Q&A

The verse affirms Krishna’s cosmic sovereignty: all beings have their ultimate origin, governance, and support in the Divine. When extraordinary signs appear (here, fire manifesting), the proper response is to seek clarification from the highest source of truth, so that doubt and bewilderment are transformed into understanding.

Bhishma addresses Krishna with reverence, describing a wondrous manifestation—fire emerging from Krishna’s mouth—which has left the observers astonished and uncertain. He requests Krishna to explain the cause of this event and to dispel their doubt and amazement.
