Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes divine self-manifestation and the ideal of continual reverent attendance: even gods and great seers uphold cosmic order by honoring the supreme progenitor (Prajāpati), modeling humility and devotion.
Sañjaya describes a sacred locus or state where Prajāpati is ever-present and self-revealing, and where the gods and great seers constantly worship and serve him—highlighting the sanctity and authority of that divine presence within the broader Bhīṣma Parva narration.
