Indradyumna Upākhyāna: On Kīrti, Smṛti, and Restoration
मनसा तस्य सर्वाणि वाहनान्यायुधानि च,मनके द्वारा चिन्तन करते ही उसके पास इच्छानुसार वाहन, अस्त्र-शस्त्र, योद्धा और कवच उपस्थित हो जायँगे। वह धर्मविजयी चक्रवर्ती राजा होगा

Mārkaṇḍeya berkata: “Dengan sekadar berfikir, segala kenderaan dan senjata yang diperlukannya akan datang kepadanya. Apa sahaja yang dikehendakinya—tunggangan, persenjataan, para pahlawan, dan zirah—akan muncul serta-merta. Dengan anugerah itu, dia akan menjadi raja cakravartin, menakluk dengan dharma.”
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
Power and sovereignty are portrayed as legitimate when aligned with dharma: the ideal ruler is not merely armed, but ‘dharma-vijayī’—one whose victories and authority serve righteous order and protection.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes a figure who gains extraordinary capacity: by mental intention alone, vehicles and weapons (and, by context, warriors and armor) become available instantly, marking him as destined for universal, dharma-based kingship.
