The verse teaches that the truly liberated knower identifies with the Self of all beings and sees all creatures equally; such a person’s spiritual ‘path’ is trackless and cannot be judged by outward movement or conventional markers—so subtle that even gods cannot fully comprehend it.
Yudhiṣṭhira is describing the nature of a realized sage: one who has transcended ordinary notions of action and progress. In emphasizing that even the devas are bewildered when trying to follow that sage’s course, he highlights the transcendence and inwardness of genuine realization.
