CHAPTER 10 An Account of God’s Glory वृष्णीनां वासुदेवोऽस्मि पाण्डवानां धनजय:। मुनीनामप्यहं व्यास: कवीनामुशना कवि: ॥37॥ [ “I am Vasudev among the descendants of Vrishni, Dhananjay among the Pandav, Vedvyas among sages, and Shukracharya among poets.’’ ] Krishn is Vasudev, or the one who is everywhere, among the Vrishni race. He is Dhananjay among the Pandav. Pandu (father of the Pandav) is a symbol of piety; he is the one in whom virtue is awakened. Realization of the Self is the only real and lasting wealth. Krishna is Dhananjay-the one who earns and stores the treasure of Selfknowledge. He is Vyas among sages. He is the sage who has the ability to express the idea of perfection. Among poets he is Ushn (Shukr) who has in the Ved the epithet kavya attributed to him, and who also has the wisdom to lead the Soul to God.
