The verse underscores a dynastic ideal of kṣatriya kingship: valor and the capacity to secure and unify territory are presented as markers of legitimate sovereignty, showing continuity of power and responsibility across generations.
Vaiśampāyana continues the genealogical account: Tamsu fathers Īlin, and Īlin is praised as an exceptional conqueror who subdues the whole earth, advancing the lineage’s fame and dominion.
