अत्र नारायण: कृष्णो जिष्णुश्वैव नरोत्तम: । बदर्यामाश्रमपदे तथा ब्रह्मा च शाश्वत:,इसी दिशामें बदरिकाश्रमतीर्थ है, जहाँ सच्चिदानन्दस्वरूप श्रीनारायण, विजयशील नरश्रेष्ठ नर और सनातन ब्रह्माजी निवास करते हैं
atra nārāyaṇaḥ kṛṣṇo jiṣṇuś caiva narottamaḥ | badaryām āśramapade tathā brahmā ca śāśvataḥ ||
“就在此方，有圣地跋陀梨（Badarī）之修行处。彼处住有那罗延——即黑天克里希那自身——与得胜的人中最上者那罗（阿周那），并有永恒的梵天同居。”

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores that dharma is anchored in sacred centers of tapas and divine presence: where Nārāyaṇa and the exemplary human (Nara/Arjuna) abide, ethical authority arises from spiritual discipline and alignment with the eternal order, not from worldly dominance.
Yuparṇa points out a revered direction/location, identifying Badarī as a holy hermitage-seat associated with Nārāyaṇa (Kṛṣṇa), Nara (paired with Nārāyaṇa in tradition), the victorious hero Jiṣṇu (Arjuna), and the eternal Brahmā—highlighting the sanctity and significance of that place.
