The verse highlights the ethical-spiritual principle that divine or authoritative grace (anugraha), when rightly obtained, validates and empowers one’s subsequent actions; even exalted sages like Nārada are portrayed as acting in alignment with such received blessing.
Bhīṣma cites Nārada as an illustrative precedent: Nārada, renowned for great spiritual power, attains the favor he sought. The statement functions as an example within Bhīṣma’s instruction, supporting a broader argument about dharma, discipline, or the efficacy of grace.
