Shloka 29
दुर्वासा वै तेन नानयेन शक््यो गृहे राजन् वासयितुं महौजा: । तमेवाहुर्ऋषिमेकं पुराणं स विश्वकृद् विदधात्यात्मभावान्
durvāsā vai tena nānyena śakyo gṛhe rājan vāsayituṃ mahaujāḥ | tam evāhur ṛṣim ekaṃ purāṇaṃ sa viśvakṛd vidadhāty ātmabhāvān rājan ||
毗湿摩说道：“大王啊，威力炽盛的圣者杜尔瓦萨（Durvāsā），除他之外无人能在家中承奉留宿。唯有他被称为独一无二的古老仙圣（ṛṣi），无可匹敌；他是宇宙的造作者，并从自身本体不断生出存在的万千形相。”

Educational Q&A
The verse elevates Krishna as uniquely capable of bearing and harmonizing overwhelming ascetic power (like Durvasa’s tejas) and presents him as the primeval seer and cosmic creator—implying that true refuge and the successful fulfillment of dharma (including hospitality) ultimately depend on the supreme divine ground.
Bhishma, instructing the king, remarks that the formidable sage Durvasa cannot be properly accommodated by anyone except Krishna. He then identifies Krishna as the unique ancient rishi and the creator who manifests the world from his own nature, explaining why only Krishna can safely host such a powerful ascetic.
