Bhīṣma checks Bhīmasena; matched engagements intensify
जय विश्व महादेव जय लोकहिते रत । जय योगीश्वर विभो जय योगपरावर,विश्वरूप महादेव! आपकी जय हो, लोकहितमें लगे रहनेवाले परमेश्वर! आपकी जय हो। सर्वत्र व्याप्त रहनेवाले योगीश्वर! आपकी जय हो। योगके आदि और अन्त! आपकी जय हो
bhīṣma uvāca | jaya viśva-mahādeva jaya loka-hite rata | jaya yogīśvara vibho jaya yoga-parāvara-viśvarūpa mahādeva |
Dijo Bhīṣma: «¡Victoria a ti, Mahādeva que impregnas el universo entero! ¡Victoria a ti, Señor siempre dedicado al bien de los mundos! ¡Victoria a ti, Señor de los yoguis, poderoso y omnipresente! ¡Victoria a ti, que eres el principio y el fin del yoga, Mahādeva de forma universal!»

Educational Q&A
The verse models dharmic devotion through stuti: recognizing the divine as universal, benevolent toward all beings, and the supreme source and culmination of yogic discipline. Ethically, it elevates loka-hita (the welfare of the world) as a divine attribute worthy of imitation.
Bhishma addresses Mahadeva (Shiva) with repeated acclamations of victory, offering a hymn-like salutation that emphasizes Shiva’s cosmic pervasiveness, his concern for the world’s good, and his identity as the lord and ultimate horizon of yoga.
