Adhyaya 19 — Kartavirya Arjuna at Dattatreya’s Ashram: Boons, Sovereignty, and Vaishnava Praise
आघोषयामास तदा स्थितो राज्ये स हैहयः ।
दत्तात्रेयात् परामृद्धिमवाप्यातिबलान्वितः ॥
āghoṣayāmāsa tadā sthito rājye sa haihayaḥ / dattātreyāt parāmṛddhimavāpyātibalānvitaḥ
Dann, in seinem Königreich gefestigt, erließ jener Haihaya-König eine Proklamation; da er von Dattātreya höchstes Gedeihen erlangt hatte, war er mit außergewöhnlicher Kraft ausgestattet.

Power and prosperity are portrayed as safest when grounded in dharma and divine sanction; once established, the king’s first act is to set public norms by proclamation—rule requires clear law, not ambiguity.
Vaṃśānucarita: the narrative highlights a paradigmatic king’s rise and the source of his exceptional capacity.
‘Proclamation’ signifies the outward expression of inner attainment: a boon (ṛddhi/bala) becomes meaningful only when translated into a public order that restrains chaos.
