Educational Q&A

The verse implicitly cautions that extraordinary strength—even divine—must be governed by humility and dharma; contempt for the cosmic order (trailokya) is ethically blameworthy and destabilizing.

Bhīṣma points to a particular sacred locale associated with powerful events: Kumāra (Kārttikeya), in his childhood, challenged the gods and, in a display of overbearing might, fixed his śakti (spear/power) into the earth after slighting the three worlds.
