毗湿摩说道：“你是婆苏提婆——金魂之主；是普鲁沙，宇宙之人；是萨维特利，赐生之日；亦是毗罗吒，遍满一切的宏大形体。你是随众生本性而住于其内的生命之我（吉瓦特曼），同时又是永恒的至上我（帕拉玛特曼）。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches a comprehensive vision of divinity: Kṛṣṇa is both the cosmic source (Puruṣa, Virāṭ, Paramātman) and the inner life in all beings (jīvabhūta), appearing in forms suited to each creature (anurūpa). Devotion is thus aligned with recognizing the one reality present as both the universe and the indwelling Self.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma is instructing and extolling sacred truths; here he offers a stuti identifying Vāsudeva with major Vedic-cosmic principles (Savitṛ, Puruṣa, Virāṭ) and with the inner Self, elevating Kṛṣṇa’s status as the eternal Supreme.
