Educational Q&A

The verse highlights ethical leadership through gratitude and recognition of supportive agency: sustained success (kārya-siddhi) and auspicious outcomes of power (tejas) are not merely personal achievements but arise through right alliances, counsel, and assistance, which should be acknowledged.

Yudhiṣṭhira addresses a ‘mighty-armed’ person, crediting him with repeatedly enabling the Pāṇḍavas’ objectives to succeed and bringing them favorable results of strength and influence—an expression of appreciation within the war-time context of the Śalya Parva.
