Bhīṣma said: He is unborn; the Lord over all lords; ever-perfect. He is the very attainment that all seek, the first cause of all beings, and the Unfailing—never fallen from His own nature in any time. He is Vṛṣākapi, the embodiment of dharma and the boar-form; His essence is immeasurable, and He is to be realized through all the disciplines and yogic means taught in the śāstras.

Educational Q&A
The verse presents the Supreme as unborn, unchanging, and the ultimate goal (siddhi) of all striving. Ethically, it frames dharma and spiritual practice as oriented toward realizing an unerring, immeasurable divine reality that remains steady in its own nature.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs and praises the Supreme through a chain of divine names and attributes. Here he enumerates epithets that describe the deity’s transcendence (unborn, immeasurable), sovereignty (Lord of all), and accessibility through śāstric yogic disciplines.
