Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 24
लोकांश्व लभते पुण्यान् विश्वेश्वरकृतान् शुभान् । एते देवास्त्रयस्त्रिंशत् सर्वभूतगणेश्वरा:
lokāṁś ca labhate puṇyān viśveśvarakṛtān śubhān | ete devās trayastriṁśat sarvabhūtaganeśvarāḥ ||
Wika ni Bhishma: Nararating niya ang mga mapalad at mararangal na daigdig—mga banal na kahariang nilikha ng Panginoon ng sansinukob. Ang tatlumpu’t tatlong diyos na ito ang mga naghahari sa lahat ng uri ng nilalang.

Educational Q&A
Righteous conduct yields access to meritorious, auspicious realms, and the cosmos is portrayed as governed by a structured divine order—here symbolized by the thirty-three deities who preside over all classes of beings.
Bhishma continues his instruction by describing the फल (result) of virtue: the attainment of holy worlds created by the supreme Lord, and he identifies the ‘thirty-three gods’ as overarching rulers within the cosmic hierarchy.
