Shloka 93
अमानी मानदो मान्यो लोकस्वामी त्रिलोकधृक् । सुमेधा मेधजो धन्य: सत्यमेधा धराधर:
amānī mānado mānyo lokasvāmī trilokadhṛk | sumedhā medhajo dhanyaḥ satyamedhā dharādharaḥ ||
Bhīṣma berkata: “Ia tak menuntut penghormatan bagi diri-Nya, namun menganugerahkan kehormatan kepada yang lain; Ia patut disembah dan dimuliakan. Ia Penguasa dunia-dunia, penopang tiga alam. Ia berakal budi luhur; menampakkan diri dalam yajña; senantiasa diberkahi dan layak disyukuri; berpengertian benar dan mulia; serta ‘Dharādhara’—yang menegakkan bumi.”

Educational Q&A
The verse praises the ideal of divine and ethical greatness: true supremacy is marked by humility (not craving honor) while actively honoring others, and by sustaining the world through wisdom, truth, and righteous order.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs and extols the Supreme through a sequence of divine names/epithets (as in the Viṣṇu-sahasranāma context), explaining qualities of the Lord who governs and upholds the cosmos and is present in sacrificial worship.
