The verse highlights how martial power in the epic is often framed as residing in a person’s spiritual attainment and training—divine weapons are not merely objects but capacities ‘established’ in a worthy bearer. Ethically, it also shows how praise can be used to affirm authority and encourage decisive action in war.
Duryodhana addresses a revered warrior/teacher-figure and emphasizes that all divine weapons—starting with the Brahmāstra—are especially present in him. The statement functions as reassurance and persuasion: Duryodhana is bolstering confidence in his commander’s unmatched arsenal and capability in the ongoing battle.
