ಭೀಮಸೇನನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಆ ಮಹರ್ಷಿಗಳು ಸಮಸ್ತ ಭೂತಗಳನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದರು—ಚರ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ಥಾವರ; ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಯಕ್ಷರು, ರಾಕ್ಷಸರು, ಭೂತಗಳು, ಪಿಶಾಚಗಳು, ನಾಗಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಮಾನವರ ವರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನೂ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದರು।

Educational Q&A
The verse presents a traditional cosmological view that the world contains diverse orders of life—mobile and immobile—and multiple non-human classes. Ethically, it implies a dharmic awareness that existence is plural and graded, and that humans are one category among many within a larger moral and cosmic order.
Bhīma is recounting (or citing) how great seers are said to have generated the various kinds of beings in the world, listing both general divisions (moving/immovable) and specific mythic species (yakṣas, rākṣasas, bhūtas, piśācas, serpents, humans).
