Význam

Kṛṣṇa is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Baladeva is Kṛṣṇa’s immediate expansion. Both Lord Kṛṣṇa and Baladeva appeared as sons of Vasudeva, so both of Them may be called Vāsudeva. From another point of view, because Kṛṣṇa never leaves Vṛndāvana, all the forms of Kṛṣṇa that appear elsewhere are His expansions. Vāsudeva is Kṛṣṇa’s immediate expansion, so Vāsudeva is not different from Kṛṣṇa. It is to be understood that the Vāsudeva referred to in this verse of Bhagavad-gītā is Baladeva, or Balarāma, because He is the original source of all incarnations and thus He is the sole source of Vāsudeva. The immediate expansions of the Lord are called svāṁśa (personal expansions), and there are also expansions called vibhinnāṁśa (separated expansions).

Śrī Kṛṣṇa je pôvodná Najvyššia Božská Osobnosť a Baladeva (Balarāma) je Kṛṣṇova priama expanzia. Kṛṣṇa i Baladeva sa narodili ako Vasudevovi synovia a preto sa obaja volajú Vāsudeva. Keďže Kṛṣṇa nikdy neopúšťa Vṛṇdāvan, všetky podoby, ktoré sa objavia na inom mieste, sú Jeho bezprostrednými expanziami. Vāsudeva je Kṛṣṇova expanzia a od Kṛṣṇu sa nelíši. Mali by sme však vedieť, že Vāsudeva, o ktorom je reč v tomto verši Bhagavad-gīty, je Baladeva, alebo Balarāma, pretože On je pôvodným zdrojom všetkých inkarnácií a jediným zdrojom Vāsudevu. Priame expanzie Pána sa nazývajú osobné expanzie (svāṁśa) a ostatné expanzie sa nazývajú oddelené expanzie (vibhinnāṁśa).

Amongst the sons of Pāṇḍu, Arjuna is famous as Dhanañjaya. He is the best of men and therefore represents Kṛṣṇa. Among the munis, or learned men conversant in Vedic knowledge, Vyāsa is the greatest because he explained Vedic knowledge in many different ways for the understanding of the common mass of people in this Age of Kali. And Vyāsa is also known as an incarnation of Kṛṣṇa; therefore Vyāsa also represents Kṛṣṇa. Kavis are those who are capable of thinking thoroughly on any subject matter. Among the kavis, Uśanā, Śukrācārya, was the spiritual master of the demons; he was an extremely intelligent and far-seeing politician. Thus Śukrācārya is another representative of the opulence of Kṛṣṇa.

Medzi Pāṇḍuovými synmi sa Arjuna preslávil ako Dhanañjaya. Je najlepším mužom, a preto reprezentuje Kṛṣṇu. Medzi učencami (muni) znalými vedskych písiem je najvýznamnejší Vyāsa, pretože vysvetlil vedsku múdrosť mnohorakými spôsobmi, aby jej mohli porozumieť i obyčajní ľudia v tomto veku Kali. Vyāsa je tiež známy ako Kṛṣṇova inkarnácia, preto reprezentuje Kṛṣṇu. Kavi je ten, kto sa dokáže pozorne zamyslieť nad akoukoľvek otázkou. Uśanā, Śukrācārya patril k takým mysliteľom a bol duchovným učiteľom démonov. Bol neobyčajne inteligentný a politicky prezieravý. Preto je Śukrācārya ďalším predstaviteľom Kṛṣṇovej vznešenosti.
