Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 36
भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival
शूरसेनेषु भूत्वा स द्वारकायां वसन प्रभु: । पालयिष्यति गां देवीं विजित्य नयवित् सदा
Śūraseneṣu bhūtvā sa Dvārakāyāṁ vasan prabhuḥ | pālayiṣyati gāṁ devīṁ vijitya nayavit sadā, nītivettā bhagavān Śrīkṛṣṇaḥ Śūrasena-deśe (Mathurā-maṇḍale) avatīrṇo bhūtvā tatraiva Dvārakā-purīṁ gatvā nivatsyati iti |
Wika ng Īśvara: “Pagkapanganak sa liping Śūrasena at paninirahan bilang panginoon sa Dvārakā, lulupigin ng Panginoon ang mga hari; at laging ginagabayan ng wastong patakaran at makatarungang pamamahala, iingatan Niya ang banal na Inang Daigdig. Kaya si Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa, na bumaba sa lupain ng Śūrasena (rehiyon ng Mathurā), ay tutungo mula roon sa lungsod ng Dvārakā at maninirahan doon, itinataguyod ang sanlibutan sa pamamagitan ng matuwid na paghahari.”

Educational Q&A
Legitimate power is justified by dharma: the ideal ruler conquers not for ego but to establish order, and then protects the Earth through nīti—ethical policy, restraint, and welfare-oriented governance.
Īśvara foretells Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s descent in the Śūrasena/Mathurā region, his residence in Dvārakā, his victory over opposing kings, and his ongoing role as a master of statecraft who safeguards the Earth as a divine trust.
