Bhishma said: Salutations—again and again—to all the presiding divine powers who pervade the five great elements, the directions and the intermediate directions; who abide in the space between the Moon and the Sun, and who are present within the rays of the Moon and the Sun. Thus one reverently acknowledges that sacred guardianship and the order of dharma extend everywhere—through nature, space, and all realms—so one should act with restraint and purity, knowing no place is devoid of divine witness.
