स वो दैत्यविनाशाय वरदो दास्यते वरम् ।
ततो हनिष्यथ सुराः सहिता दैत्यदानवान् ॥
sa vo daityavināśāya varado dāsyate varam |
tato haniṣyatha surāḥ sahitā daityadānavān ||
Er, der Spender von Gaben, wird euch eine Gabe zur Vernichtung der Daityas gewähren. Dann werdet ihr Götter, vereint, die Daityas und Dānavas erschlagen.

Grace (vara) and effort (united devas) are paired. The boon enables, but does not replace, coordinated right action—an ethic of empowered responsibility.
Episode within Purāṇic narrative history illustrating maintenance of order (dharma) through divine-human (deva-ṛṣi) cooperation; ancillary to the main fivefold topics.
The ‘boon’ symbolizes an inner upāya (means) obtained through surrender to higher wisdom; ‘sahitāḥ’ indicates integration of fragmented faculties to overcome inner asuric tendencies.
