शल्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
By invoking deities who personify purification (Agni), wise counsel (Bṛhaspati), justice (Yama), lawful restraint (Varuṇa), and wealth (Kubera), the verse suggests that power and action should be measured against dharma—truth, accountability, and responsible prosperity.
Śalya is listing prominent divine figures present/associated with the scene being described, building a sense of a grand, authoritative divine context around the events he is recounting.
