Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
वृष्णिवंशियों में मैं वासुदेव (कृष्ण) हूँ, पाण्डवों में धनञ्जय (अर्जुन) हूँ, मुनियों में व्यास हूँ और कवियों में शुक्राचार्य (उशना कवि) हूँ।
English Translation
Of the Vrishnis I am Vasudeva (Krishna); of the Pandavas, Dhananjaya (Arjuna); of sages, Vyasa; and of poets/seers, Ushana (Shukracharya).
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna identifies Himself directly as Vasudeva among the Vrishni clan and honors Arjuna as the greatest among the Pandavas. Vyasa, the compiler of the Vedas and author of the Mahabharata, represents the pinnacle of sagehood. Shukracharya (Ushana) is the greatest among poet-seers. By naming Arjuna as His vibhuti, Krishna elevates his beloved disciple to a divine status.
