Puruṣaikatva-vyākhyāna: The One Virāṭ Puruṣa and the Many ‘Puruṣas’
Rudra–Brahmā Saṃvāda
ऊचुः संहृष्टमनसो राजोपरिचरं तदा । 'देवताओ! हमलोगोंको एक साथ होकर उनका अतिशय प्रिय करना चाहिये।” अपनी बुद्धिके द्वारा ऐसा निश्चय करके वे सभी देवता राजा उपरिचर वसुके पास जाकर प्रसन्नचित्त हो बोले--
ūcuḥ saṁhṛṣṭamanaso rājoparicaraṁ tadā | “devatāḥ! vayam ekībhūya tasya atīva priyaṁ kartum arhāmaḥ” iti buddhyā niścitya te sarve devā rājoparicaravasoḥ samīpaṁ gatvā prasannacittā ūcuḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：于是他们心怀欢喜，对优波利遮罗王说道：“诸神啊！当同心合力，行那最令他欢悦之事。”既以自身的明断作此决定，众神便前往优波利遮罗·婆苏王处，怀着喜悦之心对他说道。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical action through collective resolve: when beneficence is to be shown, it should be done thoughtfully (buddhyā niścitya) and in unity (ekībhūya), aiming at what is truly beneficial and pleasing rather than impulsive or divided action.
The gods, pleased and enthusiastic, decide together to do something especially pleasing for King Uparicara Vasu. After making this decision, they approach him with joyful hearts and begin to speak.
