Educational Q&A
That the cosmos is morally structured: higher luminous beings, established in purity and discipline, remain present across realms and keep watch over actions, implying accountability and the sustaining of dharma through vigilant oversight.
Bhīṣma continues his instruction by describing the worlds created by Prajāpati and stating that divine, radiant beings dwell throughout them, attentively observing the deeds of all—framing ethical conduct within a supervised cosmic order.
