Translation
Among ages I am the Satya-yuga, the age of truth, and among steady sages I am Devala and Asita. Among those who have divided the Vedas I am Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana Vedavyāsa, and among learned scholars I am Śukrācārya, the knower of spiritual science.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Among yugas, I am Satya-yuga, and among steady sages, I am Devala and Asita. Among those who have divided the Vedas, I am Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana Vedavyāsa, and among learned scholars, I am Śukrācārya, the knower of ātmā.
Kṛtam means Satya-yuga. I am Devala and Asita among the wise. I am Śukra (kavyaḥ) among the scholars.
