Shloka 10
पवित्राणां पवित्र यो मड़लानां च मज्जलम् | दैवतं देवतानां च भूतानां योडव्यय: पिता
pavitrāṇāṁ pavitro yo maṅgalānāṁ ca maṅgalam | daivataṁ devatānāṁ ca bhūtānāṁ yo’vyayaḥ pitā ||
Dialah yang paling suci di antara segala yang suci, dan keberkahan di antara segala yang membawa berkah; Dialah Tuhan bahkan bagi para dewa, dan Bapa yang tak binasa bagi semua makhluk.

The verse exalts the Supreme as the ultimate standard of purity and auspiciousness, superior even to the gods, and as the imperishable source (Father) of all beings—encouraging reverence, surrender, and ethical alignment with that highest reality.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma continues his instruction on dharma, praising the Supreme Lord in elevated epithets to frame religious duty and right conduct around devotion to, and recognition of, the highest divine principle.
