भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival
सो<स्या: पृथिव्या: कृत्स्नाया: स्रष्टा त्रिभुवनेश्वर: । संहर्ता चैव भूतानां स्थावरस्य चरस्य च,इस सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वीके स्रष्टा और तीनों लोकोंके स्वामी भी वे ही हैं। वे ही चराचर प्राणियोंका संहार भी करते हैं
so 'syāḥ pṛthivyāḥ kṛtsnāyāḥ sraṣṭā tribhuvaneśvaraḥ | saṃhartā caiva bhūtānāṃ sthāvarasya carasya ca ||
Er allein ist der Schöpfer dieser ganzen Erde und der souveräne Herr der drei Welten. Er allein bewirkt auch die Auflösung der Wesen—der unbeweglichen wie der beweglichen—und bekräftigt damit, dass jedes Entstehen und jedes Vergehen unter der Herrschaft des Höchsten ruht.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches divine sovereignty: the Supreme Lord is both the creator of the entire earth and the dissolver of all beings, moving and unmoving. Ethically, it frames life, death, and cosmic change as governed by a higher order, encouraging humility and alignment with dharma.
Īśvara is being described (or speaks) as the supreme ruler of the three worlds, emphasizing his roles of creation and dissolution. The statement functions as doctrinal reinforcement within Anuśāsana Parva’s broader instruction on dharma and right understanding.
