Educational Q&A

The verse identifies Viṣṇu with the very essence of yajña (makha) and teaches that approaching the war narrative without envy or fault-finding—by hearing or reciting it—yields auspicious spiritual fruit: happiness and free movement through all worlds.

Vaiśampāyana concludes a section with a phalaśruti (statement of benefits), framing the battlefield account as a ‘war-sacrifice’ and asserting, with cosmic witnesses (Agni, Vāyu, Moon, Sun), that Viṣṇu is the sacrificial principle behind it.
