Vāsudeva-Māhātmya: Duryodhana’s Inquiry and Bhīṣma’s Theological Account of Keśava
स वासुदेव: प्रगृहीतचक्र: संवर्तयिष्यन्निव सर्वलोकम् | अभ्युत्पतल्लोकगुरुर्ब भासे भूतानि थक्ष्यन्निव धूमकेतु:,वे जगदगुरु वसुदेवनन्दन श्रीकृष्ण हाथमें चक्र ले मानो सम्पूर्ण जगत्का संहार करनेके लिये उद्यत थे और समस्त प्राणियोंको जलाकर भस्म कर डालनेके लिये उठी हुई प्रलयाग्निके समान प्रकाशित हो रहे थे
sa vāsudevaḥ pragṛhītacakraḥ saṃvartayiṣyann iva sarvalokam | abhyutpatal lokagurur babhāse bhūtāni dhakṣyann iva dhūmaketuḥ ||
三阇耶说：婆苏提婆手举神轮，宛如将要卷起并消融整个世界。那位诸世之师纵身前跃，光焰如彗星，仿佛将焚尽众生，使之化为灰烬。

The verse highlights that divine power is not mere spectacle: it stands ready to uphold dharma when moral order is threatened. Kṛṣṇa’s raised discus symbolizes decisive, righteous intervention—an ethical warning that adharma can provoke overwhelming consequences.
Sañjaya narrates Kṛṣṇa’s sudden, blazing advance with the discus in hand. His appearance is compared to a world-ending force and a comet, conveying that he seems prepared to destroy or burn everything—an intense moment of divine fury within the battlefield context.
