Educational Q&A
That the divine presence (as presiding guardians of places) pervades all locations—public, ordinary, and neglected—so one should maintain reverence, purity of conduct, and ethical awareness everywhere, not only in explicitly sacred spaces.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma, Bhishma enumerates many kinds of places and offers repeated salutations to the presiding deities associated with them, framing a practice of universal reverence and disciplined conduct in daily life.
