ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā
पृथिव्यां यानि भूतानि स्थावराणि चराणि च । तेषां पिता त्वं माता त्वं प्रभु: प्रभव एव च
pṛthivyāṃ yāni bhūtāni sthāvarāṇi carāṇi ca | teṣāṃ pitā tvaṃ mātā tvaṃ prabhuḥ prabhava eva ca ||
毗湿摩说道：“凡在大地之上存在的一切众生——无论不动者或动者——你是他们的父，你是他们的母；你是他们的主宰，亦是他们的本源。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches a vision of the Supreme as the universal parent and origin: all beings—immobile and mobile—depend upon and arise from the same ultimate source, grounding reverence, humility, and ethical regard toward all life.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma is instructing and praising the supreme principle/deity addressed as “you,” affirming that the one being spoken to is the father, mother, lord, and originating cause of all creatures on earth.
