Educational Q&A

The verse presents the Supreme as the unshakable ground of reality and the ultimate source and master of speech, knowledge, and bliss. Ethically, it directs the listener toward steadiness (akṣobhyatā), reverent contemplation, and reliance on the Divine as the deepest refuge and ‘treasure’ beyond worldly instability.

In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and spiritual practice. Here he continues a litany of divine names (stuti), describing the Lord through dense epithets that highlight transcendence, sovereignty, and the meditative experience of entering divine bliss.
