Educational Q&A

The verse highlights a kingly duty in wartime: consolidating support through capable and reputable allies. Ethical governance in crisis includes appointing or granting trustworthy, high-status defenders rather than relying on mere force.

In the Shalya Parva war context, a figure grants the son of Agni two prominent mace-bearing court-warriors—Saṅgraha and Vigraha—indicating reinforcement and formal alignment of powerful fighters to his cause.
