DaityaFAQs
When dharma is upheld and divine purpose is clear, victory is assured through righteous effort.
The broader setting is Kedāra (Kedārakhaṇḍa), though this verse itself focuses on the war-motivation rather than a specific tīrtha act.
None explicitly; it is a proclamation of assured victory.
