प्रतिगृह वरं देवास्तस्माद् विबुधसत्तमात् । प्रीतात्मानो महात्मानो मेनिरे निहतान् रिपून्,उन सुरश्रेष्ठ कुमारसे वह वर पाकर महामनस्वी देवता बड़े प्रसन्न हुए और अपने शत्रुओंको मरा हुआ ही मानने लगे
pratigṛhya varaṃ devās tasmād vibudhasattamāt | prītātmāno mahātmāno menire nihatān ripūn ||
उस सुरश्रेष्ठ से वर पाकर महात्मा देवता हर्षित हो उठे। प्रीतचित्त होकर वे अपने शत्रुओं को मानो पहले ही निहत समझने लगे—वरदान ने उनके मन में विजय की निश्चयता दृढ़ कर दी।

When a rightful boon or divine sanction is obtained, it can transform hesitation into firm resolve; inner joy and moral certainty arise, and victory is envisioned as already secured—highlighting the psychological and ethical power of legitimate support.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the gods, having received a boon from the foremost divine being, become greatly pleased and, strengthened by that boon, regard their enemies as effectively already defeated.
