ອາຈຸນກ່າວວ່າ: «ພຣະນາງແມ່ນ ຕຸສຕິ (ຄວາມພໍໃຈ), ປຸສຕິ (ການຫຼ້ຽງດູບໍລຸງ), ແລະ ທຣິຕິ (ຄວາມໝັ້ນຄົງອົດທົນ). ພຣະນາງແມ່ນຄວາມສະຫວ່າງທີ່ເພີ່ມພູນດວງຈັນ ແລະ ດວງອາທິດ. ພຣະນາງແມ່ນສິຣິອຳນາດຂອງຜູ້ມີສິຣິ. ໃນສະໜາມຮົບ ພວກສິດທະ ແລະ ຈາຣະນະ ໄດ້ເຫັນພຣະນາງ.»

The verse frames the divine as the source of both inner virtues (contentment, nourishment, steadfast resolve) and cosmic brilliance (radiance that strengthens sun and moon), implying that ethical steadiness and worldly flourishing ultimately rest on a higher sustaining reality—even in the turmoil of war.
Arjuna, addressing the supreme form he is witnessing, enumerates divine attributes and cosmic functions, and notes that even celestial beings (Siddhas and Cāraṇas) are present as witnesses on the battlefield, underscoring the extraordinary, world-transcending nature of the moment.
