Shloka 117
भूर्भुव:स्वस्तरुस्तार: सविता प्रपितामह: । यज्ञो यज्ञपतिर्यज्वा यज्ञाड़ो यज्ञवाहन:
bhūrbhuvaḥsvas tarus tāraḥ savitā prapitāmahaḥ | yajño yajñapatir yajvā yajñāṅgo yajñavāhanaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：祂即大地、空界与天界——三界本身；是支撑存在的宇宙之树；是渡者，载众生越过轮回（saṃsāra）之海；是生育万有的造化者；是至初的太祖，甚至在梵天（Brahmā）之上。祂即祭祀（yajña）本身，是统摄一切祭祀之主，是行祭之人，是以祭祀诸支为身的那一位，也是承载并导引祭祀达至既定圆满的力量。

The Supreme is presented as both the cosmos (the three worlds) and the sacred means within it (yajña). Therefore, righteous action and worship should be offered as participation in a divine order, not as ego-driven performance; the doer, the deed, and the goal are ultimately grounded in the same highest reality.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira and recites the Viṣṇu-sahasranāma. This verse is a cluster of divine epithets praising the Lord as cosmic foundation and as the very principle of sacrifice—its presiding lord, performer, constituents, and vehicle—emphasizing devotion and dharmic worship.
