Shloka 16
इदं विश्व जगत् सर्वमजय्यं चापि सर्वश: । महाभूतात्मकं ब्रह्म नात: परतरं भवेत्,पजञ्चमहाभूतोंसे बना हुआ यह सम्पूर्ण चराचर जगत् सब प्रकारसे अजेय ब्रह्मस्वरूप है। ब्रह्मसे उत्कृष्ट दूसरी कोई वस्तु नहीं है
idaṃ viśvaṃ jagat sarvam ajayyaṃ cāpi sarvaśaḥ | mahābhūtātmakaṃ brahma nātaḥ parataraṃ bhavet ||
This entire universe—everything moving and unmoving—is in every way unconquerable, for it is Brahman itself, constituted of the great elements. Beyond this there is nothing higher. In the hunter’s instruction, the point is ethical as well as metaphysical: reverence for all beings and restraint in conduct arise from seeing the whole world as the inviolable form of Brahman.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the entire cosmos, made of the five great elements, is Brahman itself and therefore unsurpassable; recognizing this supports an ethic of humility, restraint, and respect toward all beings.
The hunter (vyādha), speaking as a moral instructor, explains a vision of reality in which the whole world is Brahman; this philosophical grounding is used to guide right conduct (dharma) in ordinary life.
