The verse teaches the unity of the divine: one supreme reality is praised as many well-known deities and cosmic functions—rain, moon, sun, and the moral-cosmic governance associated with Varuṇa—encouraging a vision of integrated dharma and reverence beyond sectarian division.
Vyāsa is speaking in a laudatory, identificatory mode, listing divine names to declare that the same supreme being pervades multiple forms and powers. In the wider war-epic setting, such declarations typically reinforce faith, cosmic perspective, and the sense that the conflict unfolds under an overarching divine order.
