Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 69: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Reverential Address to Sañjaya on Vāsudeva
पुण्डरीकं परं धाम नित्यमक्षयमव्ययम् । तद्धभावात् पुण्डरीकाक्षो दस्युत्रासाज्जनार्दन:
puṇḍarīkaṃ paraṃ dhāma nityam akṣayam avyayam | taddhabhāvāt puṇḍarīkākṣo dasyutrāsāj janārdanaḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「プンダリーカ（Puṇḍarīka）とは至上の住処—常住にして不滅、不壊であり、衰えを知らぬもの。その実在に彼の本性が確立しているゆえ、彼はプンダリーカークシャ（Puṇḍarīkākṣa）と呼ばれる。また、無法の者どもを震え上がらせ、鎮め伏せるゆえ、ジャナールダナ（Janārdana）と称される。」

Educational Q&A
The verse links divine names to ethical function: the Lord is ‘lotus-eyed’ due to his pure, supreme, imperishable nature, and ‘Janārdana’ because he restrains the lawless—upholding dharma by protecting society from predatory violence.
Sañjaya is describing and praising Kṛṣṇa through etymological explanations of his epithets, emphasizing his transcendent nature and his role as a force that checks wrongdoing in the tense pre-war context of the Udyoga Parva.
