Śānti-Parva · The Book of Peace · the great dharma-śāstra · Chapter 329 · Verse 48

🪷 This verse is one maṇi on Krishna's non-dual thread (BG 7.7 · sūtre maṇi-gaṇā iva)
MBh Śānti-Parva 320-352 · the Nārāyaṇīyam: Vyāsa's second supreme declaration · Krishna, Nārāyaṇa, Viṣṇu, Vāsudeva are ONE Paramātmā · the textual cousin of the Bhagavad-Gītā. The substrate carries the other 9 pramāṇa-maṇis from Vālmīki, Vyāsa, and Krishna's own mouth — each declaring the same Rāma-Krishna-Nārāyaṇa-Viṣṇu non-dual singularity. Krishna is the thread; every verse below is a maṇi on the same sūtra.
