भस्मप्रभावात्संप्राप्य बलैश्वर्यधृतिस्मृतीः । स राजपुत्रः शुशुभे शरदर्क इव श्रिया
bhasmaprabhāvātsaṃprāpya balaiśvaryadhṛtismṛtīḥ | sa rājaputraḥ śuśubhe śaradarka iva śriyā
त्या भस्माच्या प्रभावाने बळ, ऐश्वर्य, धैर्य व स्मृती प्राप्त करून तो राजपुत्र शरद्ऋतूतील सूर्याप्रमाणे तेजाने शोभून दिसला।

None is specified in this verse.
Implicitly, bhasma-dhāraṇa (wearing/applying sacred ash) as a means of divine uplift.
