13.18.1
सर्वे वेदाः सर्ववेद्याः सशास्त्राः ।
सर्वे यज्ञाः सर्व इत्यश्च कृष्णः।
विदुः कृष्णं ब्राह्मणास्तत्वतो ये ।
तेषां राजन्सर्वयज्ञः समाप्तः ॥ १३.१८.१ ॥
All the Vedas, all that is to be known, together with the treatises; all sacrifices, and the word 'all' itself—this is Kṛṣṇa. O king, for those brahmins who truly know Kṛṣṇa, the all-sacrifice is complete.
13.18.2
ज्ञेयो योगी ब्राह्मणैर्वेदतत्वै-
रारण्यकैः सैष कृष्णः प्रभुत्वात्।
सर्वान्यज्ञान्ब्राह्मणान्ब्रह्म चैव ।
व्याप्यातिष्ठद्देवदेवस्त्रिलोके ॥ १३.१८.२ ॥
This yogin Kṛṣṇa is to be known by brahmins who know the essence of the Vedas, and by the Āraṇyaka scholars, because of his lordship. Pervading all sacrifices, the brahmins and Brahman itself, the god of gods stands in the three worlds.
13.18.3
स एष देवः शक्रमीशं यजानं ।
प्रीत्या प्राह क्रतुयष्टारमग्र्यम्
न मा शक्रो वेदवेदार्थतत्वा-
द्भक्तो भक्त्या शुद्धभावप्रधानः ॥ १३.१८.३ ॥
That god, to Indra the lord who was worshipping him, the foremost of sacrificers, said kindly: 'Indra does not know me through the truth of the Vedas and the truth of their meaning; it is the devotee, chiefly of pure disposition, who knows me through devotion.'
13.18.4
मा जानन्ते ब्रह्मशीर्षं वरिष्ठं ।
विश्वे विश्वं ब्रह्मयोनिं ह्ययोनिम्।
सर्वत्राहं शाश्वतः शाश्वतेशः ।
कृत्स्नो वेदोऽग्निर्निर्गुणोऽनन्ततेजाः ॥ १३.१८.४ ॥
They do not know me as the foremost head of Brahman, the universe, the womb of Brahman and the one without a womb. I am eternal everywhere, lord of the eternal; I am the entire Veda, fire, the attributeless one of infinite splendour.
13.18.5
सर्वे देवा वासुदेवं यजन्ते ।
ततो बुद्ध्या मार्गमाणास्तनूनाम्।
सर्वान्कामान्प्राप्नुवन्ते विशालां-
स्त्रैलोक्येऽस्मिन्कृष्णनामाभिधानात् ॥ १३.१८.५ ॥
All the gods worship Vāsudeva. Then, seeking the path of bodies by understanding, they obtain all vast desires in these three worlds through the utterance of the name Kṛṣṇa.
13.18.6
कृष्णो यज्ञैरिज्यते यायजूकैः ।
कृष्णो वीर्यैरिज्यते विक्रमद्भिः।
कृष्णो वाक्यैरिज्यते सम्मृशानैः ।
कृष्णो मुक्तैरिज्यते वीतमोहैः ॥ १३.१८.६ ॥
Kṛṣṇa is worshipped through sacrifices by those who perform sacrifices. Kṛṣṇa is worshipped through heroic deeds by the valiant. Kṛṣṇa is worshipped through the words of those who reflect. Kṛṣṇa is worshipped by the liberated, the free from delusion.
13.18.7
विद्यावन्तः सोमपा ये विपापा ।
इष्ट्वा यज्ञेर्गोचरं प्रार्थयन्ते।
सर्वं क्रान्तं देवलोकं विशाल-
मन्ते गत्वा मुक्तिलोकं भजन्ति ॥ १३.१८.७ ॥
The learned soma-drinkers, who are sinless, having sacrificed with sacrifices, desire the realm. Having traversed the whole vast world of the gods, at the end they go to the world of liberation and attain it.
13.18.8
एवं सर्वे त्वाश्रमाः सुव्रता ये ।
मां जानन्तो यान्ति लोकानदीनान्।
ये ध्यानदीक्षामुद्वहन्तो विपापा ।
ज्योतिर्भूत्वा देवलोकं भजन्ति ॥ १३.१८.८ ॥
Thus all the stages of life, who keep good vows, knowing Me, go to undiminished worlds. Those who bear the consecration of meditation and are sinless, having become light, attain the world of the gods.
13.18.9
पूज्यन्ते मां पूजयन्तः प्रहृष्टा ।
मां जानन्तः श्रद्धया वासुदेवम्।
भक्त्या तुष्टोऽहं तस्य सत्त्वं प्रयच्छे ।
सत्वस्पृष्टो वीतमोहोऽयमेति ॥ १३.१८.९ ॥
Those who worship me are worshipped with joy. To those who know me, Vāsudeva, with faith, I am pleased through devotion and grant them sattva. Touched by sattva and free from delusion, this one goes forth.
13.18.10
ज्योतींषि शुक्तानि च यानि लोके ।
त्रयो लोका लोकपालास्त्रयश्च।
त्रयोऽग्नयश्चाहुतयश्च पञ्च ।
सर्वे देवा देवकीपुत्र एव ॥ १३.१८.१० ॥
All the bright lights in the world, the three worlds, the three world-guardians, the three fires and the five oblations — all these gods are indeed the son of Devakī.
13.18.11
व्यासस्यैतद्वचः श्रुत्वा मद्रराजः सहर्षिभिः ।
व्यासं कृष्णं च विधिवत्प्रीतात्मा प्रत्यपूजयत् ॥ १३.१८.११ ॥
Having heard this speech of Vyāsa, the king of the Madras, together with the sages, with a pleased heart, duly honored Vyāsa and Kṛṣṇa in return.
13.18.12
कविः प्रयातस्तु महर्षिपुत्रो ।
द्वैपायनस्तद्वचनं निशम्य।
जगाम पृथ्वीं शिरसा महात्मा ।
नमश्च कृष्णाय चकार भीष्मः ॥ १३.१८.१२ ॥
That sage, the son of the great seer Dvaipāyana, having heard those words, departed; the great-souled one bowed his head to the earth; and Bhīṣma made obeisance to Kṛṣṇa.
