Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya: Visnuswami |
Sridhara Swami's Commentary
Of trees Lord Krishna's vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is the
Asvtthah or sacred Banyan tree. Of celestial sages being those who as
demigods became proficient in singing Vedic hymns and promulgating bhakti
or exclusive loving devotion to the Supreme Lord, His vibhuti is Narada.
And among those who from their very birth were knowledgeable of the
Ultimate Truth and perfected beings, His vibhuti is the saint known as
Kapiladeva the son of Devahuti.

| Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya: Madhvacarya |
Madhvacarya's Commentary
Lord Krishna states the word siddhanam meaning of perfected beings, His
vibhuti is Kapila the son of Devahuti. The name Kapila is very
interesting. Ka means of wonderful form, pi means to nuture and la means to
absorb the worlds. The words priti or love, sukham or pleasure and ananda
or bliss are corresponding words. The avatar Kapila having complete
awareness knows past, present and future. In the Bavravya section is
stated: Kapiladeva is aware of all that was born previously, all that is
being born now and all that will be born subsequently. Through immeasurable
pleasure, through nourishment, through bliss and through Kapiladeva can be
known.

Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary
Among trees Lord Krishna's vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is
the Asvattha or the sacred Banyan tree also called the holy fig tree and
known as Ficus Bengalensis. Among celestial sages His vibhuti is Narada of
exceptional bhakti or loving devotion. Of the Gandarvas or celestial
singers and musicians His vibhuti is Citraratha of outstanding singing. Of
perfected beings who have since inception acquired spiritual wisdom,
dispassion, renunciation etc. and are endowed with great purity, holiness
and enlightenment possessing all siddhis or supernatural powers, His
vibhuti is Kapiladeva the son of Kardama Muni and Devahuti.
