毗湿摩说道：彼为至上之光，现于东方，示现宇宙之相（毗湿瓦鲁帕）；以其光辉，世界悉皆明耀。彼为一切众生之胎藏与内在之我。于上古之时，彼先化生诸水，而后复生起整个宇宙。

The verse teaches that Kṛṣṇa is the supreme, all-illuminating divine principle—the inner Self and source of all beings. Recognizing this cosmic origin supports dharma: reverence for life, humility, and devotion grounded in the unity of creation.
Bhīṣma is praising and theologizing Kṛṣṇa, describing him in cosmic terms: appearing like the sun in the east, illuminating the world, and being the primordial creator who first produced the waters and then the universe.
