नक्षत्रेषु श्राद्धफलविधानम् (Śrāddha Outcomes According to Nakṣatras)
तेन तस्मिन् कुमारेण क्रीडता निहते<सुरे । सुरेन्द्र: स्थापितो राज्ये देवानां पुनरीश्वर:
tena tasmin kumāreṇa krīḍatā nihate 'sure | surendraḥ sthāpito rājye devānāṃ punar īśvaraḥ ||
সেই কুমাৰে যেন খেলি থাকোঁতেই অসুৰ তাৰকক বধ কৰিলে; তেতিয়া দেৱেন্দ্ৰ ইন্দ্ৰ পুনৰ দেৱলোকৰ ৰাজ্যত প্ৰতিষ্ঠিত হৈ দেৱসকলৰ অধিপতি হ’ল।
भीष्म उवाच
When adharma disrupts rightful order, its removal—sometimes through divinely empowered agency—restores legitimate sovereignty; true rulership is grounded in the protection of cosmic and moral balance, not mere power.
The divine youth (Kumāra, i.e., Skanda/Kārttikeya) kills the asura Tāraka with effortless ease, and as a result Indra is reinstated as the ruler of the gods, regaining the devas’ kingdom.
