Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the Divine (here praised as Kṛṣṇa) transcends ordinary mental grasp, yet is the sustaining ground of the cosmos and the purifier of beings; devotion is grounded in recognizing both transcendence (agrāhya, śāśvata) and immanence (support of all directions, source of auspiciousness).
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma continues his instruction and praise, offering a litany of divine epithets for Kṛṣṇa/Vāsudeva—describing his eternal nature, cosmic sovereignty, role in dissolution, and power to purify—within a broader discourse on dharma and sacred remembrance.
