The verse underscores the epic motif that true greatness is recognized by the cosmos itself: divine beings, radiant with their own tejas, gather in acknowledgment of the two ‘puruṣottamas,’ suggesting that moral and spiritual eminence naturally draws reverence and confirms rightful stature within dharma.
Vaiśampāyana describes a scene where major classes of gods—the Viśvedevas and Sādhyas—along with many other deities, are present and shining, attending upon or witnessing the presence of two exalted figures referred to as ‘the two supreme persons.’
