Sañjaya’s Knowledge of Keśava and the Discipline of Indriya-nigraha (संजयस्य केशवज्ञानम्—इन्द्रियनिग्रह-उपदेशः)

ईशन्नपि महायोगी सर्वस्य जगतो हरि: । कर्माण्यारभते कर्तु कीनाश इव वर्धन:

īśann api mahāyogī sarvasya jagato hariḥ | karmāṇy ārabhate kartuṃ kīnāśa iva vardhanaḥ ||

Wika ni Sañjaya: Bagaman Siya ang Panginoon—si Hari, ang dakilang yogin at hari ng buong daigdig—patuloy pa rin Siyang nagsisimula ng mga bagong gawain, gaya ng magsasakang nagsisikap upang umunlad ang kanyang bukirin.

Educational Q&A

Even the supreme Lord, though fully sovereign and self-sufficient, undertakes action for the increase and well-being of the world. The ethical implication is that responsible action—done for order, growth, and welfare—is a mark of true greatness, not a sign of lack.

Sañjaya is describing Hari (understood in the Udyoga context as Kṛṣṇa/Viṣṇu) as a great yogin who nevertheless initiates works continually, using the vivid comparison of a farmer who keeps working to make the harvest grow.
