Shloka 4
ममान्तरात्मा तव च ये चान्ये देहिसंज्ञिता: । सर्वेषां साक्षिभूतोडसौ न ग्राह्म: केनचित् क्वचित्,वे मेरे, तुम्हारे तथा दूसरे जो देहधारी संज्ञावाले जीव हैं, उनके भी अन्तरात्मा हैं। सबके साक्षी वे पुरुषोत्तम श्रीहरि कहीं किसीके द्वारा भी पकड़में नहीं आते
mamāntarātmā tava ca ye cānye dehi-saṃjñitāḥ | sarveṣāṃ sākṣibhūto 'sau na grāhyaḥ kenacit kvacit ||
ममान्तरात्मा तव च ये चान्ये देहिसंज्ञिताः। सर्वेषां साक्षिभूतोऽसौ न ग्राह्यः केनचित्क्वचित्॥

The Supreme Reality is the indwelling Self of all embodied beings and functions as the universal witness; because it transcends sense and mental objects, it cannot be physically or conceptually ‘grasped’ like ordinary things.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma addresses the listener (traditionally Yudhiṣṭhira) and explains a contemplative doctrine: the Lord as inner Self of all beings, ever-present as witness, yet beyond capture by any external means.
