Educational Q&A

The verse teaches that the Supreme is both transcendent and immanent: the foundational support of the world, self-existent, ever-awake, the very standard of righteous conduct, and the life-giver. Ethically, it links devotion to the Divine with commitment to satpatha—right conduct—as an expression of the Divine nature.

In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhishma is instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and praising the Supreme through a litany of divine names/epithets. This verse is part of that praise, enumerating qualities that guide the listener toward reverence and righteous living.
