त्वमेकः सर्वमर्त्येषु विमानवरमास्थित: । चरिष्यस्युपरिस्थो हि देवो विग्रहवानिव,सम्पूर्ण मनुष्योंमें एक तुम्हीं इस श्रेष्ठ विमानपर बैठकर मूर्तिमान् देवताकी भाँति सबके ऊपर-ऊपर विचरोगे
tvam ekaḥ sarvamartyeṣu vimānavaram āsthitaḥ | cariṣyasy uparistho hi devo vigrahavān iva ||
Vaiśampāyana said: “Among all mortals, you alone—seated upon this most excellent aerial car—will move about above everyone, like a god who has taken on a visible form.”

Extraordinary status or power (being ‘above’ others like an embodied god) is presented as a rare privilege; it implicitly calls for humility and ethical self-control, since elevation over others should not become arrogance or harm.
The narrator describes a unique mortal who, mounted on a supreme vimāna, will travel overhead—portrayed as godlike in appearance—highlighting a moment of exceptional honor and marvel within the unfolding account.
