Sandhi Resolution Notes: साध्यमिति = साध्यम् + इति; सर्वधर्तारमेव = सर्वधर्तारम् + एव; सर्वधर्माणां (no sandhi); पुण्यकर्मणाम् = पुण्य + कर्मणाम् (कर्मधारय).
It presents God as the universal sustainer and the ultimate agent behind dharma and the very possibility of meritorious action.
By framing all accomplishment and righteousness as grounded in the divine sustainer, it encourages reliance on and devotion to God as the source of spiritual efficacy.
One should recognize a higher divine foundation for dharma and good deeds, cultivating humility and aligning one’s actions with that sustaining principle.
