కుంతీనందనా! ఈ విధంగా అనేక రకాల రూపాలు ధరించి నేను ఈ భూమిపై సంచరిస్తాను; బ్రహ్మలోకంలో నివసిస్తాను, అలాగే సనాతన గోలోకంలోనూ విహరిస్తాను.

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.
