Shloka 20
अग्राहा: शाश्वत: कृष्णो लोहिताक्ष: प्रतर्दन: । प्रभूतस्त्रिककुब्धाम पवित्र मड़लं परम्
agrāhyaḥ śāśvataḥ kṛṣṇo lohitākṣaḥ pratardanaḥ | prabhūtas trikakubdhāma pavitra-maṇḍalaṁ param ||
毗湿摩说道：祂超越心识所能攫取，永恒常住；黑天（克里希那），以至乐之性摄受万有；赤目炽然，于劫末使众生归于溶解的毁灭者；具足智慧与自在威德；为上、下与中界三方之所依所住；净化一切者——实为至上的吉祥圆轮。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the Divine (here praised as Kṛṣṇa) transcends ordinary mental grasp, yet is the sustaining ground of the cosmos and the purifier of beings; devotion is grounded in recognizing both transcendence (agrāhya, śāśvata) and immanence (support of all directions, source of auspiciousness).
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma continues his instruction and praise, offering a litany of divine epithets for Kṛṣṇa/Vāsudeva—describing his eternal nature, cosmic sovereignty, role in dissolution, and power to purify—within a broader discourse on dharma and sacred remembrance.
