Pancharatra: King Yudhishthira praises Lord Krishna with the Satvatha Samhita (Pancharatra Agama) tenets in the assembly.
Vaiśampāyana said:
Having been consecrated and having obtained the kingdom, the greatly wise Yudhishthira, pure and with joined palms, spoke to the lotus-eyed descendant of Dasharha.
O Kṛṣṇa, by your favour, policy, strength, intelligence, and prowess, O tiger among the Yadus, (all this has been accomplished).
Once again, I have regained this ancestral kingdom of my forefathers. O lotus-eyed one, I bow to you repeatedly, O subduer of enemies.
They call you the one person, they call you the lord of the Sātvatas; the supreme sages praise you with many kinds of names.
Salutations to you, O universal creator, soul and origin of the universe; O Viṣṇu, O victorious one, O remover of sins, O Kṛṣṇa, O Vaikuṇṭha, O supreme person.
It is said in the Purāṇa that you, born of Aditi, remained in the womb for seven nights. You are also known as Pṛśnigarbha, and they say you are the same one through three yugas.
You are called by names such as Śuciśravā (of pure fame), Hṛṣīkeśa (Lord of the senses), Ghṛtārci (whose radiance is like clarified butter), Haṃsa (swan); you are the three-eyed, the auspicious one, the one, the all-pervading, Dāmodara, and so on.
He is the Boar, the Fire, of great radiance, virile, marked by Tārkṣya, conqueror of armies, the Supreme Person, the Pervader, and of great stride.
He is most excellent in speech, fierce, the leader of armies, truthful, giver of strength, the hidden one, unfailing, the mover of enemies, assembler, transformer, and the bull.
You are the one whose path is established, the mountain, the one with the bull as the womb, the bull-monkey, the piercer of the ocean, the wave, the one with three peaks, the one with three abodes, the threefold, the infallible.
You are the universal emperor, the mighty and self-ruler, the lord of the gods and the giver of dharma; you are all-pervading, the very existence, the overcomer, Kṛṣṇa, the one whose path is Kṛṣṇa, you indeed and also.
You are called the maker of well-offered oblations, the healer, the revolving one, Kapila, Vāmana, the sacrifice, Dhruva, Pataṅga, and Jayasena.
You are called by many names: Śikhaṇḍī, Nahusha, Babhrū, Divaspṛk, Punarvasu, Subabhrū, Ukṣa, Rukma, Suṣeṇa, Dundubhi, and so on.
You are called 'Gabhastinemi', the one whose spokes are rays, the auspicious lotus, the lotus, the bearer of flowers, the skillful one, the all-pervading, the subtlest of all, and 'Sāvitra'.
You are the ocean, you are Brahmā, you are the purifier, the abode, and the desert; they call you Hiraṇyagarbha, Svadhā, Svāhā, and Keśava.
You are the origin and dissolution of this, O Kṛṣṇa; you alone create this universe in the beginning. This universe is under your control, O origin of the universe; salutations to you, O wielder of Śārṅga, discus, and sword.
Thus, when Dharmarāja praised him, Kṛṣṇa, the lotus-eyed and joyful, in the midst of the assembly, greeted Bhārata, the eldest Pāṇḍava, with abundant words, he being the foremost among the Yādavas.
