Durgātitaraṇa—Conduct for Crossing Difficulties (दुर्गातितरणम्)
य इमान् सकलाललोंकां श्वर्मवत् परिवेष्टयेत् । इच्छन् प्रभुरचिन्त्यात्मा गोविन्द: पुरुषोत्तम:
ya imān sakalāṁl lokān carmavat pariveṣṭayet | icchan prabhur acintyātmā govindaḥ puruṣottamaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：唯以其意志，便能如以皮革覆裹一般笼罩一切世界者——彼乃至上主宰，其真实本性不可思议：瞿文陀（Govinda），至上之人（Purushottama）。

Educational Q&A
The Lord’s nature and power are acintya (beyond conceptual grasp): by mere will He sustains and encompasses all worlds. Ethically, this encourages humility, trust in cosmic order, and devotion aligned with dharma rather than pride in limited human agency.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction, Bhīṣma is describing the supreme status of Govinda (Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa), portraying Him as the sovereign who intentionally envelops and sustains the entire cosmos, emphasizing His transcendence and lordship.
