The verse highlights the ethical tension of divine empowerment in warfare: sacred power (a divine weapon) may be granted by the Lord, but its use intensifies moral responsibility and the consequences of violence.
Sañjaya reports that a warrior (implied by context) again receives the divine Pāśupata weapon from Īśvara, indicating renewed access to an extraordinary, potentially decisive force in the battle.
