毗湿摩说道：他是过去、未来与现在的主宰；他是风，是净化者，也是火。他摧毁执著于自私目的者心中的欲望，却也成就奉献者正当的祈愿。他美丽而可亲，被称为“迦摩（Kāma）”——受敬为三位一体的神圣原理——赐予所求之福；他是至上主宰，具足一切威能。

The verse presents the Divine as both the purifier and the sovereign of time, who can dissolve selfish craving (kāmahā) while also granting worthy aspirations (kāmakṛt, kāmapradaḥ). Ethically, it frames devotion as a path where desires are refined—lower cravings are removed, and righteous aims are supported.
Bhīṣma is reciting a sequence of divine names/epithets in praise, describing the Lord’s cosmic functions (wind, fire, purification) and moral-spiritual roles (removing and fulfilling desires). The passage functions as devotional instruction within Bhīṣma’s teachings in the Anuśāsana Parva.
