जो वेदवेत्ता और अध्यात्मशास्त्रके विद्वान् ब्राह्मण हैं, वे परमात्मा श्रीकृष्णको ही सनातन धर्मरूप बताते हैं
ye vedavettāraḥ adhyātmaśāstra-vidaḥ brāhmaṇāḥ, te paramātmānaṃ śrīkṛṣṇam eva sanātana-dharma-rūpaṃ vadanti
Dhaumya nói: “Những Bà-la-môn thật sự thông hiểu Veda và tinh tường khoa học về Tự Ngã đều tuyên rằng Chân Ngã Tối Thượng—chỉ riêng Śrī Krishna—chính là hiện thân của Dharma vĩnh cửu.”

The verse asserts a theological-ethical identity: the highest spiritual reality (Paramātmā) and the eternal moral order (Sanātana Dharma) are not separate; learned Vedic and adhyātma authorities recognize Śrī Kṛṣṇa as the embodiment of that timeless dharma.
Dhaumya, speaking as a trusted priestly guide, invokes the testimony of Veda-knowing Brahmins and spiritual philosophers to establish Kṛṣṇa’s supreme status and to frame dharma as grounded in the divine—strengthening the listeners’ confidence in righteous conduct aligned with Kṛṣṇa.
