Educational Q&A
The verse presents the Lord as the ultimate object of Vedic knowledge and the healer of worldly and spiritual suffering, while also affirming His transcendent nature (beyond the senses) and His power to uphold dharma through decisive strength and divine agency (māyā).
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma is instructing and praising the Supreme through a sequence of divine epithets (as in the Viṣṇu-sahasranāma context), describing the Lord’s qualities—healer, yogin, transcendent, and mighty protector—before the listening audience (notably Yudhiṣṭhira in this section).
