Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Reception Plan for Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa): Gifts, Procession, and Protocol
तस्मिन् हि यात्रा लोकस्य भूतानामीश्वरो हि सः | तस्मिन् धृतिश्च वीर्य च प्रज्ञा चौजश्न माधवे
tasmin hi yātrā lokasya bhūtānām īśvaro hi saḥ | tasmin dhṛtiś ca vīryaṃ ca prajñā caujaś ca mādhave |
因为世间的运行与延续，皆系于他；他确是万有众生的至上主宰。在那位摩陀婆身上，具足坚忍与勇武、明辨之智与炽盛之威光——凭此诸德，众生的安泰得以维系。

Educational Q&A
The verse presents Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa) as the sustaining lord of all beings and the foundation of worldly stability, emphasizing that ideal governance and moral order rest on virtues such as steadfastness (dhṛti), valor (vīrya), wisdom (prajñā), and radiant power (ojas).
Vaiśampāyana is describing Mādhava’s supreme status and qualities within the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war context, where Kṛṣṇa’s role as guide and upholder of order is being highlighted as decisive for the fate of the world and the coming conflict.
