Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्

वृष्णीनां वासुदेवोऽस्मि पाण्डवानां धनञ्जयः
मुनीनामप्यहं व्यासः कवीनामुशना कविः
॥ 10.37 ॥

vṛṣṇīnāṃ vāsudevo'smi pāṇḍavānāṃ dhanañjayaḥ
munīnāmapyahaṃ vyāsaḥ kavīnāmuśanā kaviḥ

Translation

"Among the Vrishnis I am Vasudeva, among the Pandavas Dhananjaya (Arjuna); among sages too I am Vyasa, and among poets the poet Ushana."

Interpretation

Shankaracharya. vṛṣṇīnāṃ yādavānāṃ vāsudevaḥ asmi ayam eva ahaṃ tvatsakhā — this very me, your friend; pāṇḍavānāṃ dhanaṃjayaḥ tvam eva — you yourself; munīnāṃ mananaśīlānāṃ sarvapadārthajñāninām api ahaṃ vyāsaḥ; kavīnāṃ krāntadarśinām uśanā kaviḥ asmi — among poets who are far-seeing (who see far ahead), Ushana.

Acharya Ramanuja. vasudevasūnutvam atra vibhūtiḥ, arthāntarābhāvād eva — here the glory is "being the son of Vasudeva" (as in 10.31, since Krishna is the Lord himself); munayo mananena arthayāthātmyadarśinaḥ — sages who, through reflection, see the true nature of things.
