Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights the ethical-religious mood that arises in the proximity of the divine: true spiritual authority (the sages) responds not with argument but with reverent wonder, suggesting that dharma is ultimately grounded in direct recognition of the sacred and in humility before it.

What is happening in the narrative?

Vāyudeva describes how the gathered sages, sitting near Kṛṣṇa, become amazed and fix their lotus-like, fully opened eyes upon Janārdana, emphasizing a moment of collective awe in Kṛṣṇa’s presence.
