Bhīṣma said: “There, in that realm, dwell the divine hosts known as the Sādhyas—mighty, elemental beings of great power, subtle and unseen. Among them too there was born a son, invincible in battle; his name was Samāna.”

The verse situates human discourse within a wider cosmic order: even subtle divine classes (the Sādhyas) have lineages and distinguished figures. It underscores that power and eminence exist across many planes of being, not only among humans.
Bhīṣma continues a cosmological-genealogical description, identifying a class of deities called the Sādhyas and naming their notable son Samāna, characterized as ‘Durjaya’—difficult to conquer.
