मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
भूर्भुवं चापि देवर्षि विश्वरूपमवेक्षते | तत्र देवाधिदेवस्थ कुमार्यो रमयन्ति तम्
bhūrbhuvaṁ cāpi devarṣi viśvarūpam avekṣate | tatra devādhidevastha kumāryo ramayanti tam ||
ഭീഷ്മൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ഹേ ദേവർഷേ! അവൻ ഭൂഃ-ഭുവഃ ലോകങ്ങളെ ഉൾക്കൊള്ളുന്ന വിശ്വരൂപദർശനം കാണുന്നു. അവിടെ ദേവാധിദേവന്റെ സന്നിധിയിൽ ദിവ്യകുമാരികൾ അവനെ ആനന്ദിപ്പിച്ചു രമിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.

The verse highlights the fruit of elevated spiritual vision: one who attains contemplation of the universal form transcends limited worldly perception and is admitted to divine proximity, where refined, celestial joys are portrayed as accompanying that exalted state.
Bhīṣma describes to a divine seer the experience of beholding the viśvarūpa spanning the realms of Bhū and Bhuvar; within that divine sphere, in the presence/abode of the supreme deity (Devādhideva), celestial maidens are said to delight and entertain him.
