भूर्भुवं चापि देवर्षि विश्वरूपमवेक्षते | तत्र देवाधिदेवस्थ कुमार्यो रमयन्ति तम्
bhūrbhuvaṁ cāpi devarṣi viśvarūpam avekṣate | tatra devādhidevastha kumāryo ramayanti tam ||
Bhīṣma berkata: “Wahai resi ilahi, dia menyaksikan penglihatan kosmik yang serba-berbentuk, meliputi Bhūr dan Bhuvar (alam bumi dan alam udara). Di sana, di hadapan Dewa segala dewa, para bidadari syurga bersuka ria menghiburkan dan menyenangkan hatinya.”

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.
