Shloka 138
Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
एवं बहुविधे रूपैश्नरामीह वसुन्धराम् । ब्रद्मलोक॑ च कौन्तेय गोलोक॑ च सनातनम्
evaṁ bahuvidhair rūpaiś carāmy iha vasundharām | brahmalokaṁ ca kaunteya golokaṁ ca sanātanam ||
കുന്തീനന്ദനേ! ഇങ്ങനെ പലവിധ രൂപങ്ങൾ ധരിച്ചു ഞാൻ ഈ ഭൂമിയിൽ സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നു; ബ്രഹ്മലോകത്തിലും വസിക്കുന്നു; സനാതനമായ ഗോളോകത്തിലും വിഹരിക്കുന്നു.

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes a multi-realm, multi-form mode of existence, suggesting that identity and experience are not confined to one physical location; it frames ethical life (dharma) within a larger cosmic order where higher realms and enduring abodes are meaningful.
The speaker describes wandering on earth while also dwelling in exalted realms such as Brahmaloka and the eternal Goloka, presenting a perspective that spans different worlds and states of being.
