Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the supreme divine reality encompasses both moral virtues (like hrī—ethical restraint) and worldly/cosmic powers (like śrī—prosperity, sandhyā—sacred discipline-time, māyā—creative manifestation). Recognizing this unity encourages reverence, self-restraint, and disciplined living even amid conflict.
Arjuna is offering a hymn of praise, naming multiple divine epithets and powers. By listing these forms—virtue, prosperity, sacred time, radiance, solar sanctity, and motherhood—he acknowledges the deity’s all-encompassing nature and seeks alignment and protection through devotion.
