Educational Q&A
The verse presents ideal divine/royal conduct: strength is shown by protecting the vulnerable and using authority to grant benefits for the welfare of all beings (sarvabhūta-hita), not for selfish display.
Indra (Śakra/Vāsava) rushes forward and physically catches someone who is falling, and the narration characterizes him as a supreme bestower of boons devoted to universal welfare.
