তেওঁ কৰ্তা আৰু বিকর্তাও—যিয়ে ফলক সলনি কৰি বিধান কৰে। তেওঁ সকলো ভূতৰ অন্তৰাত্মা, ভূতকৃৎ, প্ৰভু। তেওঁক অচিন্ত্য, মহা আশ্চৰ্য আৰু পবিত্ৰ বুলি কোৱা হয়।

Educational Q&A
The verse presents the Supreme as both the active agent (creator/doer) and the one who reshapes and governs outcomes, immanent as the Self in all beings yet transcendent as an inconceivable, wondrous, and purifying Lord—inviting reverence and ethical alignment with a higher cosmic order.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, a description is being given of the supreme divine principle—identified through epithets such as creator, indwelling Self, and sovereign—emphasizing its incomprehensibility and sanctifying power within the ongoing Vana Parva discourse.
