Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that inner resolve (manasā cintā) is ethically significant: when one’s intention is aligned with divine favor (prasāda of Agni), it can be translated into effective, orderly action by directing one’s instruments and allies (symbolized by the beings on the banner).
The narrator describes a figure who mentally seeks/recalls Agni’s favor and, once his intention is understood, commands the beings associated with the banner (dhvaja) to act—suggesting a coordinated response to a deliberate plan.
