The verse exalts the ‘Vaiṣṇava padam’—the highest state aligned with Viṣṇu—as the incomparable goal whose radiance dispels darkness across all realms, implying that the supreme good is spiritually luminous and universally beneficent.
Bhīṣma, in his instruction during Śānti Parva, describes the attainment and glory of a supreme Vaiṣṇava state, using imagery of Garuḍa’s famed exploits and the sun’s brilliance to convey its unmatched, world-illuminating splendor.
