🪷 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.
- BG 7.7 · sūtre maṇi-gaṇā iva · Krishna names His own posture · "all this is strung on Me as jewels on a thread" · the verse that names this very necklace
- BG 10.8 · Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ · Krishna declares Himself the source from which all proceeds · the central declaration of /philosophy
- BG 10.31 · rāmaḥ śastra-bhṛtām aham · Krishna says by His own mouth · "among weapon-bearers I am Rāma" · the BG itself records the non-dual singularity
- BG 4.7-8 · yadā yadā hi dharmasya · The avatāra-promise · "whenever dharma declines, I take birth" · the One who descends as Rāma in Tretā is the same One speaking now as Krishna
- BG 18.66 · the Carama-Śloka · Krishna's final teaching · "abandon all dharmas, take refuge in Me alone" · the surrender-pole sealing the necklace
- Vālmīki Yuddha-Kāṇḍa 6.93.65 · "kṛṣṇa-pakṣa-caturdaśīm" · Mālyavān's pre-war counsel to Rāvaṇa names the dark-fortnight 14th day · the word "Krishna" is operational in Tretā itself · the name pre-exists Krishna-as-person · woven into the eternal lunar pakṣa-substrate
- Vālmīki Yuddha-Kāṇḍa 6.120.16 · the Brahma-Stuti · Brahmā addresses Rāma after Rāvaṇa-vadha · names Him as Viṣṇu AND Krishna by name · the Ādi-Kavi's own declaration of the non-dual
- Vālmīki Yuddha-Kāṇḍa 6.120.29 · the avatāra-rahasya · Brahmā: "Sītā IS Lakṣmī · YOU ARE Viṣṇu · YOU ARE the deva Krishna · You entered human form to slay Rāvaṇa"
- MBh Vana-Parva 258-275 · the Rāmopākhyāna · Vyāsa includes Rāma's complete story (704 verses) inside Krishna's epic · Mārkaṇḍeya narrates to Yudhiṣṭhira · the One there is the One here
