Shloka 39
सुप्रसाद: प्रसन्नात्मा विश्वधृग विश्वभुग् विभु: । सत्कर्ता सत्कृत: साधुर्जह्लुनरायणो नर:
suprasādaḥ prasannātmā viśvadhṛg viśvabhug vibhuḥ | satkartā satkṛtaḥ sādhur jahlur nārāyaṇo naraḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：祂至慈至恩，心常安然；祂荷载并养护整个世界，遍一切处而为主宰。祂礼敬信徒，祂自身亦为至可敬者所礼敬；祂成就善人之事，于劫坏之时摄收众生；祂以“那罗延那”之名安卧于宇宙大水之上，又以“那罗”之名引领信徒趋入至高住处。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the Divine is simultaneously compassionate and sustaining: serene in nature, all-pervading, honoring the virtuous, and guiding devotees to the highest good. It encourages trust in dharma and devotion by portraying God as the ultimate support of the world and the moral order.
Bhīṣma is describing and praising the Lord through a sequence of epithets (names/attributes), presenting a theological portrait: protector of the cosmos, recipient of worship, accomplisher of devotees’ aims, and the one who withdraws creation at dissolution—identified as Nārāyaṇa and Nara.
