Shloka 29
दुर्वासा वै तेन नानयेन शक््यो गृहे राजन् वासयितुं महौजा: । तमेवाहुर्ऋषिमेकं पुराणं स विश्वकृद् विदधात्यात्मभावान्
durvāsā vai tena nānyena śakyo gṛhe rājan vāsayituṃ mahaujāḥ | tam evāhur ṛṣim ekaṃ purāṇaṃ sa viśvakṛd vidadhāty ātmabhāvān rājan ||
ビーシュマは言った。「王よ、烈しい霊威をもつ聖仙ドゥルヴァーサ（Durvāsā）を家に迎え留め得るのは、彼以外にはいない。彼こそ唯一無二の太古のリシ（ṛṣi）と称えられ、宇宙の造り手であり、その自らの本体より、存在の多様な相を絶えず生み出し続ける。」

Educational Q&A
The verse elevates Krishna as uniquely capable of bearing and harmonizing overwhelming ascetic power (like Durvasa’s tejas) and presents him as the primeval seer and cosmic creator—implying that true refuge and the successful fulfillment of dharma (including hospitality) ultimately depend on the supreme divine ground.
Bhishma, instructing the king, remarks that the formidable sage Durvasa cannot be properly accommodated by anyone except Krishna. He then identifies Krishna as the unique ancient rishi and the creator who manifests the world from his own nature, explaining why only Krishna can safely host such a powerful ascetic.
