Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:
Visnuswami |
Sridhara Swami's Commentary
The result of actual knowledge about the glory, majesty and power of the
Supreme Lord Krishna that has been expounded as well as rendering bhakti or
loving devotion to Him is that one attains undeviating realization of His
supreme absolute position and all that is related to it. There is no doubt
about this.

Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya:
Madhvacarya |
Madhvacarya's Commentary
The method by which one's aspirations are made available is known as
equanimity. The equanimity of the Supreme Lord is also known as sakti or
power. A special manifestation of this sakti is called vibhuti or
supernatural opulence. To attain this yogam or the science of the
individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate
consciousness of the Supreme Lord is also a manifestation of vibhuti.

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya:
Ramanuja |
Ramanuja's Commentary
The word vibhuti means transcendental potencies of majestic opulence such
as displayed in all of the phenomenal activities manifest in creation,
preservation and sustenance and all of the wondrous workings of unlimited
universes. The word yogam or the science of the individual consciousness
attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness denotes the consensus
of all glorious attributes with the exemption of all that is evil and
unrighteous. Whosoever comprehensively understands the preceding and
realises the Supreme Lord Krishna through these two components of His
character being vibhuti and yoga will succeed in acquiring unwavering and
rapt bhakti or exclusive loving devotion. This means that the knowledge of
respecting and honouring His vibhuti and yoga by observing, pondering and
reflecting how they manifest and operate as phenomenal material activities
and divine attributes will assist and facilitate the awakening of bhakti
and this can be practically experienced by all who think of Lord Krishna in
this way. Next will be explained how the development of bhakti is a direct
result of knowledge of Lord Krishna's vibhuti.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:
Nimbaditya |
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary
Now Lord Krishna speaks on the benefits of knowing Him in reality as the
great sages spoken previously do, as the Supreme transcendental majestic
Lord of all. This is stated with the words yo vetti tattvatah meaning those
who know in truth, regarding His transcendental potencies and divine
opulence and how they manifest, direst and sustain the whole creation. Such
one's like the great sages will undoubtedly become established in
undeviating yoga or the science of the individual consciousness attaining
communion with the Ultimate Consciousness of the Supreme Lord.
