Educational Q&A
The core teaching is that the supreme reality (here identified with Śrī Kṛṣṇa) encompasses all functions—creation, enjoyment/sustenance, and conquest—and may manifest both benevolent and fearsome forms. Ethical devotion (bhakti) is presented as discerning this comprehensive divine agency behind the world’s order and events.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma is instructing Yudhiṣṭhira through hymnic praise and theological exposition. In this verse he extols Kṛṣṇa with cosmic titles (Viśvakarmā, Viśvarūpa, etc.) and describes a terrifying iconographic aspect (trident and blood-filled skull-cup), emphasizing Kṛṣṇa’s fame and the universal praise directed toward him.
