FAQs
This verse says the Supreme Person nourishes the prāṇa (life-force) of every category of being—therefore sages describe Him as sarvamaya, the essence and support of all.
He indicates that the Lord is realized as the basis of mind, matter/food, and immortality/nectar—showing His presence as the sustaining reality behind all levels of existence.
Seeing all life as sustained by Bhagavān fosters reverence for every being, gratitude for nourishment, and steady devotion by remembering the Lord as the inner maintainer.
