Inquiry into Śreyas, Dharma, and Karma
सर्वाण्यशून्यानि करोत्यनन्तः सनातन: संचरते च लोकान् । स चानिरुद्ध: सृजते महात्मा तत्स्थं जगत् सर्वमिदं विचित्रम्
sarvāṇy aśūnyāni karoty anantaḥ sanātanaḥ sañcarate ca lokān | sa cāniruddhaḥ sṛjate mahātmā tatsthaṃ jagat sarvam idaṃ vicitram ||
Bhishma berkata: “Tuhan Yang Tak Bertepi dan Kekal memenuhi segala sesuatu sehingga tiada yang hampa; dan dengan mengambil wujud-wujud lila Ia berkelana di antara dunia-dunia. Tiada siapa dapat menghalangi gerak-Nya. Dialah Mahatma yang menciptakan alam semesta ini, dan pada-Nya seluruh jagat yang menakjubkan ini berdiri teguh.”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches divine sovereignty: the Eternal Infinite Lord pervades and energizes all existence, freely manifests and moves through the worlds, cannot be checked by any power, and is both the creator and the ground in which the entire cosmos is established.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and higher truths, Bhishma praises the supreme Lord’s nature—His all-pervading fullness, unobstructed power, and role as creator and support of the universe—framing ethical life within devotion and recognition of the ultimate source.
