Brahmopadeśa: Adhipatitva-kathana, Dharma-lakṣaṇa, and Kṣetra–Kṣetrajña Viveka
Book 14, Chapter 43
राजाधिराज: सर्वेषां विष्णुब्रह्ममयों महान् । ईश्वरत्वं विजानी ध्वं कर्तारमकृतं हरिम,ब्रह्ममय महाविष्णु ही सबके राजाधिराज हैं, उन्हींको ईश्वर समझना चाहिये। वे श्रीहरि सबके कर्ता हैं, किंतु उनका कोई कर्ता नहीं है
rājādhirājaḥ sarveṣāṃ viṣṇu-brahma-mayo mahān | īśvaratvaṃ vijānīdhvaṃ kartāram akṛtaṃ harim ||
ヴァーユは言った。「ヴィシュヌとブラフマンに遍く満ちた大いなる主—万有に対する王の中の王—こそ真の主権者として識るべきである。ハリは一切の業の作者であるが、みずからは作られず、また彼を作る者もない。」

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches recognition of Hari (Viṣṇu) as the supreme sovereign and ultimate agent: He is the creator and governor of all, yet Himself uncreated and without any prior cause—pointing to the highest theological principle of an uncaused first cause.
Vāyudeva is instructing the listeners to correctly identify the supreme divine authority. In the Ashvamedhika context, such teaching reinforces dharmic orientation after the war: true sovereignty and moral order ultimately rest in the Supreme (Hari), not merely in worldly kingship.
