Educational Q&A
The verse teaches reverent devotion to the supreme reality identified with Śiva, who is simultaneously beyond form (unmanifest) and present within the world (manifest). Ethical orientation is expressed through humility and surrender before that ultimate, all-pervading power.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma—while instructing on dharma—utters a praise-hymn (stuti) to Śiva, invoking multiple epithets that highlight Śiva’s might (adamantine body), auspicious form (golden hair, three eyes), and metaphysical status (manifest/unmanifest).
