तद्देवानां परमं च दैवतं पतीनां च परमं च पतिम्। देवं देवानां परमं च महद्भयं भयानां परमं च नः स्यात्॥

taddevānāṃ paramaṃ ca daivataṃ patīnāṃ ca paramaṃ ca patim | devaṃ devānāṃ paramaṃ ca mahadbhayaṃ bhayānāṃ paramaṃ ca naḥ syāt ||

"He is the supreme deity among deities, the supreme lord among lords, the god of gods. May He, the most fearful among the fearful, be gracious to us!"

What This Means:

God is supreme over all gods, the ultimate Lord. He inspires reverence and awe. The seeker prays for His grace.

Going Deeper:

This verse emphasizes divine transcendence - not just one god among many, but the supreme source of all deities and powers.

How To Apply This:

Cultivate reverence for the highest Reality. Seek grace through humble recognition of the Supreme.
