Educational Q&A
The verse links collective strength and prosperity to disciplined conduct under wise leadership: when a community follows sound policy (nīti) and remains devoted to truth, it gains both power (bala) and well-being (bhoga) without losing moral grounding.
Yudhiṣṭhira is describing the flourishing condition of Kṛṣṇa’s people—the Vṛṣṇis, Andhakas, and Yādavas—emphasizing that under Kṛṣṇa’s guidance their chiefs (like Agrasena) have become formidable and their society has become both virtuous and prosperous.
