Krishna Reveals the Nara-Narayana Identity
After Arjuna's recitation, Krishna speaks directly to him. He declares that they are the rishis Nara and Narayana, that they are identical — "You are mine and I am yours" — and that no difference exists between them. The kings become agitated at this revelation, and Draupadi approaches to seek refuge.
Janardana spoke to Partha.
"You are mine and I am yours. All that is mine is yours too. He who hates you also hates me. He who follows you also follows me. O invincible one! You are Nara and I am Hari Narayana. We are the rishis Nara and Narayana, born from that world in this world. O Partha! O descendant of the Bharata lineage! You are no other than I. I am no other than you. O bull among the Bharata lineage! No one can know any difference that exists between us."
In that assembly of warriors, the kings became agitated.
Panchali, surrounded by her valiant brothers, with Dhrishtadyumna at the forefront, went to Pundarikaksha, who was seated with the Yadavas. Krishna sought refuge with the one who is all refuge and uttered her words. Aranyaka Parva, Chapter 310
