毗湿摩说道：“在这神圣的天神与仙圣名号的谱系中，也提及：温柔的神牛苏罗毗（Surabhi）；大圣维湿罗婆（Viśravā）；‘誓愿/决意’之力——僧迦罗波（Saṅkalpa）；大海；自恒河（Gaṅgā）起奔流的诸河；以及风神马鲁特（Maruts）的众军。”

Educational Q&A
The verse reinforces the dharmic practice of remembrance (smaraṇa) and reverent naming: honoring divine beings, sages, and sacred waters is presented as spiritually protective and harmonizing with cosmic order.
Bhīṣma continues a long enumerative recitation—effectively a litany of revered entities—within a broader protective and sanctifying context, listing Surabhi, Viśravā, Saṅkalpa, the Ocean, the rivers led by Gaṅgā, and the Maruts.
