भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse strings together honorific epithets to present the divine as simultaneously teacher (Kapila), sovereign (lord of earth and gods), cosmic pervader (tripad), and liberator (kṛtāntakṛt). Ethically, it highlights gratitude (kṛtajña) as a divine quality—valuing devotees’ service and responding with protection and release from the bondage of action.
Bhīṣma is describing the Lord through a litany of names and attributes. The passage functions as praise and identification: it situates the deity as the source of wisdom (Kapila/Sāṅkhya), ruler of cosmic orders (earth, gods, three worlds), and the power that ends karmic consequences for those who remember and worship.
