The verse highlights the traditional ethic that extraordinary gifts—such as a remarkable heir—are granted through the grace of sages, implying the power of tapas, blessing, and earned merit in sustaining righteous kingship even in turbulent times.
Vyāsa narrates that, immediately thereafter, Sṛñjaya’s astonishingly radiant son manifests. He is described as a boon given by a pleased sage to the king, and his splendor is likened to that of Kubera’s son.
