Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

I am the Gamble of the throw, amongst the deceitful arts that beguile men. Thus it is that a victim of a highway robbery by gambling cannot be saved. I am in sooth the Splendour (teja) of the luminaries. I am also the Success in all undertakings. The endeavour in all acts that moves in the path of rightousness is indeed my manifestation”, said the Supreme Lord of all Gods.

“I am the righteousness in the righteous, also the most prosperous among the Yadavas; coming into the world for Vasudeva and Devaki, and then being removed to Gokula to take the place of the daughter of Yashoda, I sucked in (milk of) Putana to her death: and even while childhood’s bud was half-blown, cleared the whole earth of Daityas (demons) and measured power with the great might of Indra by lifting on the palm of my hand the mountain Govardhana. I pulled out cobra Kalia that wash the thorn in the bosom of the river Yamuna, and preserved the entire Gokula unscathed in burning flames; and out-juggling the plunder of calves and kine by replacing them, outwitted the very creator and sent him off. And who, at the very dawn of his childhood, crushed out for mere sport, formidable foes and invulnerable enemies like Kamsa? Why wax tedious over all this? You have seen and heard all about this.

That Krishna in all the Yadavas is My divine manifestation. I am the Arjuna amongst you Pandavas, born of the lunar race (candravaṃśī [candravaṃśa?]) and therefore it is that our love knows naught of a break or a breach. Feigning to be ascetic, you did indeed steal away my sister; yet doubts as to thy virtue never touched my mind, we both being one and the same soul in two bodies. I am Vyasa amongst Great Sages,”

said the King of Yadavas “and Sage Ushanacharya the most courageous amongst the wisest of men.”
