Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
महाभूताधिपतये रुद्राणां पतये तथा । आदित्यपतये चैव वसूनां पतये तथा,वे ही महाभूतोंके अधिपति तथा रुद्रों, आदित्यों और वसुओंके स्वामी हैं। उन्हें नमस्कार करो
mahābhūtādhipataye rudrāṇāṁ pataye tathā | ādityapataye caiva vasūnāṁ pataye tathā ||
Vyāsa disse: “Oferece reverência Àquele que é o soberano dos grandes elementos, o senhor dos Rudras, o senhor dos Ādityas e, do mesmo modo, o senhor dos Vasus.”
व्यास उवाच
To cultivate reverence toward the supreme principle that governs both the elements and the divine classes, reinforcing humility and devotion as foundations for dharmic living and inner peace.
Within the instruction-heavy Śānti Parva, Vyāsa voices a formula of praise that identifies a single lordship over multiple cosmic and divine domains, guiding the listener toward worship and contemplative alignment with cosmic order.
