Kṛtayuga Description and Instruction on Royal Dharma
महद्धयेतदचिन्त्यं च यदहं दृष्टवान् प्रभो । इत्युक्त: स मया श्रीमान् देवदेवो महाद्युति: । सान्त्वयन् मामिदं वाक्यमुवाच वदतां वर:,'प्रभो! मैंने जो कुछ देखा है, यह अगाध और अचिन्त्य है।” मेरे इस प्रकार पूछनेपर वे वक्ताओंमें श्रेष्ठ महातेजस्वी देवाधिदेव श्रीभगवान् मुझे सान्त्वना देते हुए इस प्रकार बोले
mahadd hy etad acintyaṃ ca yad ahaṃ dṛṣṭavān prabho | ity uktaḥ sa mayā śrīmān devadevo mahādyutiḥ | sāntvayan mām idaṃ vākyam uvāca vadatāṃ varaḥ |
मी म्हणालो—“प्रभो! मी जे पाहिले ते महान् आणि अचिंत्य आहे.” असे मी म्हणताच महाद्युती, देवाधिदेव, श्रीमान्—वक्त्यांमध्ये श्रेष्ठ—भगवान मला धीर देत हे वचन बोलले.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the limits of ordinary cognition before the divine: profound experiences may be ‘vast’ and ‘inconceivable,’ and the proper response from the divine teacher is reassurance and guiding speech rather than fear or confusion.
The narrator reports that the speaker (addressing the Lord) confesses being overwhelmed by an extraordinary vision. In response, the radiant ‘God of gods’ consoles him and begins to speak, setting up the next instruction or explanation.
