Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic governance through proper delegation: sovereignty (Indra) is supported by entrusted stewardship of wealth (Kubera). Prosperity is treated as a responsibility administered by a capable authority, not merely as personal possession.
Bhishma describes an earlier cosmic-political arrangement: Indra rules the three worlds, while Kubera—powerful and the chief of Yakshas and Rakshasas—is placed in charge of the treasury and associated worldly administration of prosperity.
