Now Bhishma answers his fourth question, which was:
'Kam archathaha manusyahashubham prapnoth?'
'Tameva charchayan nithyam, tam purusham avyayam eva nithyam bhaktya archayan.'
Avyayaha – One who does not have an end, the imperishable.
How should he be worshipped? Nityam – every day, always, with devotion (bhaktya). Also, by dhayan, meditating upon him; stuvann, praising him; and namasyan, offering namaskaras to him.
By doing all this, the yajamana (worshipper) attains liberation from all sorrows (sarva dhukatigo bhaveth).
Now Bhishma answers Yudhisthira’s third question:
'Kam sthuvanthaha manusyaya sugham prapneth?'
Anathi nithanam Vishnum… अनादि निधनं षड्भाव विकार शून्यम्
There are six aspects present in all living beings, called shad bhavas:
These are the six bhavas inherent in all living beings.
He, however, is beyond them:
We might ask, 'Is your father at home?' This question inherently implies a time frame – now, today, or these days. All are finite and limited. In contrast, he exists beyond such limitations.
अनादि निधनं षड्भाव विकार शून्यम् – Devoid of the six bhavas.
Vishnum vyapannsheelam – He has pervaded everything, is in everything, and is spread across all.
Sarva loka maheswaram – The lord of all lokas and devas; the Maheswara of all Iswaras.
Lokadyaksham – He oversees and supervises the lokas, hence called Lokadyakshaka.
By nithyam sthuvann, praising him always, one becomes free from all sorrows (sarva dhukhatigo bhaveth).
Even though Ganesha is the Lord of everything, he is primarily worshiped for the removal of obstacles. He is also often worshiped for success, intelligence, and gaining popularity. There are specific Ganesha mantras for begetting progeny, defeating rivals, and gaining wealth.
