قال سنجيا: «يا ربَّ الكون! إن العارفين بالڤيدا يخاطبونك بأسماء كثيرة: بلا بداية ولا نهاية، ذو هيئةٍ إلهية، ربُّ الجميع، المُقيمُ والداعم، غيرُ مولود، غيرُ متجلٍّ؛ أنت الذاتُ الباطنةُ في الكائنات، الروحُ العظمى، اللامتناهي، وذو الوجوه في كلِّ الجهات».

The verse frames the divine as limitless and all-pervading, known through many epithets affirmed by Vedic wisdom. Ethically, it shifts attention from transient war-bound identities to the eternal ground of being, encouraging reverence, humility, and alignment with dharma under a cosmic order.
Sañjaya reports a reverential address to the supreme Lord, describing how Veda-knowers invoke Him with titles that emphasize eternity, unmanifest nature, and omnipresence—setting a devotional and metaphysical tone amid the larger war narrative of the Droṇa Parva.
