Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya

B.G 10.37

Among the Vṛṣṇis, I am Vāsudeva; among the Pāṇḍavas, I am Dhanañjaya. Among sages, I am Vyāsa; among poets, I am Uśanā the seer.

Gīta Bhāshya 10.37

Vāsu - one who covers all, permeates all, and dwells everywhere; Vyāsa - one who indeed is distinct (viśiṣṭaḥ) from all, from every direction or He is 'Vi' as he dispels darkness, and 'asa', breathes everywhere.

He who covers all, permeates all, and dwells everywhere — he is called Vāsu.

The meaning of the word "Deva" has been stated earlier: "I pervade the world like the sun with its rays, and I dwell in all beings — therefore, I am called Vāsudeva."

- stated thus in the Mokṣa-dharma section.

The Vyāsa is one who indeed is distinct (viśiṣṭaḥ) from all, from every direction. Stated so, also in the Agniveśya branch:

"He is called 'Vyāsa' as He is 'Vi', who dispels darkness, and 'asa', breathes everywhere: below, in the north, behind, in the east, in the south, and in the north — thus it is said."

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
