ദേവന്മാർക്കും ആ ഭുവനേശ്വരനെ തിരിച്ചറിയാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞില്ല; പ്രജാപതിമാരോടുകൂടി എല്ലാവരും അവനെക്കുറിച്ച് മോഹത്തിൽ ആകുലരായി ഭ്രമിച്ചു.

Educational Q&A

True recognition of the Supreme is not guaranteed by rank or power; without right knowledge and grace, even gods and Prajāpatis can fall into moha. The verse points to humility and the limits of mere status in spiritual discernment.

Vāyudeva reports that the assembled gods and Prajāpatis could not identify Bhuvaneśvara (Mahādeva) and became confused about him, indicating a moment where the Lord’s nature is concealed and the celestial beings are overcome by bewilderment.
