evam ete diteḥ putrā mārutāḥ paramādbhūtāḥ | anārataṁ te saṁvānti sarvagāḥ sarvadhāriṇaḥ ||
Wika ni Bhishma: “Ganyan nga ang mga Marut—kamangha-manghang mga anak ni Diti—na tunay na pambihira. Nakakakilos sila sa lahat ng dako nang walang hadlang; walang tigil ang kanilang pag-ihip, at sa kapangyarihan nilang magtaguyod, inaalalayan nila ang lahat ng nilalang.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a dharmic vision of the cosmos: natural forces like the winds (Maruts) are not merely physical phenomena but sustaining powers that continuously uphold life and order. Their ceaseless movement and universal reach symbolize uninterrupted service to the world.
Bhishma is describing the Maruts as extraordinary beings—sons of Diti—emphasizing their constant activity, their ability to move everywhere, and their role in sustaining all. It forms part of his broader instructive discourse in the Shanti Parva.
