Rendering based on ALkoNdavilli gOvindhAchArya swAmy’s English translation of gIthA bhAshyam

‘Of the Vṛishṇis¹ I am Vāsudeva; of the Pāndavas, Dhanañjaya²; of the Munīs also, I am Vyāsa; (and) of Sages, I am Uśanas³.’

The being the son of Vasudeva is the manifested expression of the Lord, Vāsudeva being the Lord direct.

Of the Pandavas, I am (2) Dhanañjaya=Arjuna.

Munis are those who in silent meditation realize truths. Of them I am Vyāsa.

Kavayaḥ are sages or savants.
