Then Bhishma, son of Shantanu, having resolved with his intellect, O Bharata, deems Krishna the Vrishni most worthy of honor on earth: "For he, among these assembled, shines in their midst with radiance, strength, and valor, like the blazing sun among the luminaries. As the sunless place is lit by the sun, as the windless is stirred by the wind, so is this our assembly illumined and gladdened by Krishna."

Bhishma, "having resolved with his intellect," names Krishna the most worthy without hesitation: among all the rulers, the foremost place rightly belongs to Him who is above all. It is significant that the wise man's reasoning arrives at the same conclusion as Narada's inner perception: both recognize in Krishna the very center. The image of the sun among the luminaries is precise -- other kings shine, but He is the source of light. The verse teaches that true honoring begins with correct recognition: the first honor belongs to the Supreme, and whoever renders it to Krishna does not exalt Him thereby (He is already above all) but becomes himself a partaker of truth. To acknowledge the primacy of the Lord is the beginning of all right order.
