CommentaryThis Nārāyaṇa, Lord of Sri, the one who resides on the Milk Ocean, relinquishing His Serpent-couch, has come to the city of Mathura ‘Wherever Krishna is, there is the blessed [city of] Dvaravati. He is the Lord Himself, the ancient One and Eternal Dharma. Those who know the Vedas and those who know the Self declare the great-minded Krishna to be the eternal Dharma. Of all sanctifiers, Krishna is said to be the most sanctifying, the most virtuous of the virtuous, the most auspicious among the auspicious. The lotus-eyed God of gods, the eternal, abides as the three worlds... Hari whose essential nature is beyond thought, abides thus. Madhusudana is there alone’ [1]. Similarly it is stated: — ‘O Arjuna, where the Divine, the eternal Nārāyaṇa the Supreme Self is, there the entire universe, the sacred water and the holy shrines are to be found. That is sacred, that is Supreme Brahman, those are sacred waters, that is the austerity grove — there dwell the divine sages, the Siddhas and all those rich in austerities where the Primal Creator, the great Yogin Krishna the slayer of the demon Madhu dwells. It is the most sacred among the sacred. For you, let there be no doubt about this’ [2]; ‘Krishna Himself is the origin and dissolution of all beings. For, this universe, consisting of sentient and insentient entities, was projected for the sake of Krishna [3]. And Krishna Himself says so in the passage beginning with— ‘Earth, water, fire, ether, mind, intellect and Ahamkara; this Prakrti, which is divided eightfold, is Mine’ [4] and ending with ‘I am the origin of all; from Me proceed everything’ [5]. |
