श्रेयो-धर्मकर्मविचारः
Inquiry into Śreyas, Dharma, and Karma
सर्वाण्यशून्यानि करोत्यनन्तः सनातन: संचरते च लोकान् । स चानिरुद्ध: सृजते महात्मा तत्स्थं जगत् सर्वमिदं विचित्रम्
sarvāṇy aśūnyāni karoty anantaḥ sanātanaḥ sañcarate ca lokān | sa cāniruddhaḥ sṛjate mahātmā tatsthaṃ jagat sarvam idaṃ vicitram ||
Wika ni Bhishma: Ang Walang-Hanggan at Walang-Panahong Panginoon ay pinupuno ang lahat upang walang manatiling hungkag, at sa pag-aangkin ng mga anyong paglalaro, siya’y gumagala sa mga daigdig. Walang sinuman ang makapipigil sa kanyang landas. Siya lamang ang lumilikha ng sansinukob na ito, at sa kanya nakatatag ang buong kamangha-manghang kosmos.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches divine sovereignty: the Eternal Infinite Lord pervades and energizes all existence, freely manifests and moves through the worlds, cannot be checked by any power, and is both the creator and the ground in which the entire cosmos is established.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and higher truths, Bhishma praises the supreme Lord’s nature—His all-pervading fullness, unobstructed power, and role as creator and support of the universe—framing ethical life within devotion and recognition of the ultimate source.
