True strength and lasting renown are presented as fruits of divine/saintly grace joined with the lived practice of dharma. The verse links inner power (bala), social honor (kīrti), and ethical conduct (dharma) as mutually reinforcing outcomes of righteous living under the guidance and blessing of a realized teacher like Dattātreya.
Arjuna speaks in the Anuśāsana context of instruction on dharma, acknowledging that his exceptional power and reputation are not merely personal achievements but were attained through Dattātreya’s favor, and he emphasizes that he has also actively practiced great dharma—framing his status as grounded in ethical conduct and spiritual benefaction.
