Bhishma said: You are the Sustainer, the Ordainer, the Unifier, the Disposer; you are both the support that upholds and the One who stands beyond all supports. You are Brahmā; you are austerity and truth; you are brahmacarya (disciplined continence) and straightforwardness. In this hymn of names, Bhishma frames the Supreme as the ground of cosmic order and moral order alike—one reality expressed as creation, restraint, truthfulness, and integrity.
