तेजोवृषो द्युतिधर: सर्वशस्त्रभृतां वर: । प्रग्रहो निग्रहो व्यग्रो नैकशूज़ी गदाग्रज:
tejo-vṛṣo dyuti-dharaḥ sarva-śastra-bhṛtāṁ varaḥ | pragraho nigraho vyagro naika-śṛṅgī gadāgrajaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“他是倾洒光辉之雨者，执持至上灿然者，诸持兵器者中最胜者。他受纳信众所献花叶供品，制御并统摄一切众生，恒常专注于赐予求依者所愿之果。他亦名‘多角者’——象征圣言之多重形态——并且是伽达（Gadā）之长者，即生于其前者。”

The verse praises the Lord as both compassionate and sovereign: he receives sincere devotion (accepts offerings), yet also restrains and governs the world (nigraha). Ethical life is framed as trusting a divine order that rewards devotion and upholds discipline—grace and governance functioning together.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and extols the Supreme through a litany of divine names (as in the Viṣṇu-sahasranāma tradition). This verse is one segment of that praise, enumerating epithets that describe the deity’s splendor, martial supremacy, receptivity to devotion, and universal control.
