Lomaśa said: “And in their entirety the divine seers, the oceans, and the mountains; the Vedas together with the Upaniṣads; and the sacrificial exclamations ‘vaṣaṭ’ along with the rites of sacrifice—(all these) were beheld as present within that wondrous, all-containing form.” In the narrative context, the passage underscores a moral vision: true greatness is not mere power but the capacity to hold the whole order of the world—sages, nature, and sacred knowledge—within a single, conscious reality, inspiring reverence and restraint rather than pride.

Educational Q&A
The verse points to the unity of sacred knowledge (Veda–Upaniṣad), ritual order (vaṣaṭ and sacrifice), and the natural cosmos (oceans and mountains) within a single overarching reality. Ethically, it encourages humility: recognizing that dharma is sustained by a vast, interconnected order beyond individual ego.
Lomaśa is describing an extraordinary vision in which vast cosmic and sacred elements—seers, oceans, mountains, the Vedas with the Upaniṣads, and sacrificial rites—are perceived together, as though contained within one all-encompassing form or presence.
