Even exalted beings like the devas may fail to discern the Supreme Lord’s true nature; the verse underscores humility and the need for deeper spiritual insight (bhakti and jñāna) to recognize ultimate sovereignty.
Vyāsa identifies a divine figure as the universal sovereign and remarks that, despite His supremacy, the gods themselves did not fully understand or recognize Him—highlighting the hidden or transcendent aspect of the Lord within the unfolding events.
