Āśraya· The supreme shelter

कृष्ण कृष्ण महायोगिंस्त्वमाद्य: पुरुष: पर: ।

व्यक्ताव्यक्तमिदं विश्वं रूपं ते ब्राह्मणा

विदु:

॥ २९ ॥

kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa mahā-yogiṁs

tvam ādyaḥ puruṣaḥ paraḥ

vyaktāvyaktam idaṁ viśvaṁ

rūpaṁ te brāhmaṇā viduḥ

Translation

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, Lord Kṛṣṇa, Your opulent mysticism is inconceivable. You are the supreme, original person, the cause of all causes, immediate and remote, and You are beyond this material creation. Learned brāhmaṇas know [on the basis of the Vedic statement sarvaṁ khalv idaṁ brahma] that You are everything and that this cosmic manifestation, in its gross and subtle aspects, is Your form.

Kṛṣṇa’s Arrangement Is Inconceivable

    Kṛṣṇa is the supreme, original person, the cause of all causes, and beyond the material creation.

  2. 2

    By Nārada’s grace and their continuing memory, Nalakūvara and Maṇigrīva understood Kṛṣṇa’s supremacy.

  3. 3

    They recognized their deliverance as Kṛṣṇa’s inconceivable arrangement. He knows past, present and future, and as the Supreme Person He can do everything.
