The Pandavas were incarnations of Devas. After Gandharvas defeated Duryodhana and he decided to fast until death, the Asuras took him to Pathala. They told Duryodhana that his upper body was Shiva and his lower body was Parvathy. They got Duryodhana by doing tapas. Many Asuras had already possessed important Kauravas including Bhishma, Drona, and Kripa. The Asuras were controlling them. Narakasura's soul had possessed Karna. Using the bodies of the Kauravas, in fact, the Asuras were fighting Lord Krishna and the Devas who had taken birth as Pandavas. (Vana Parva,252)
O Shiva, You are my soul, Goddess Parvati is my intellect, my companions are my life energies, and this body is Your temple. All the experiences I undergo are Your divine enjoyments. My sleep is deep meditation, my movement is circumambulation (pradakshina), all my words are praises (stotras) to You. Whatever actions I perform, O Shambhu, I consider them all as Your worship. By living with this mindset, the devotee experiences every moment as a continuous act of devotion, where mundane activities are transformed into sacred rituals. This verse teaches that true worship isn't confined to rituals alone but extends to all actions performed with a sense of divine presence.
