The verse functions as a heroic catalogue: it highlights how a single formidable leader draws vast forces behind him, underscoring the Mahābhārata theme that power and responsibility scale together in warfare and leadership.
Koṭika continues listing notable warriors and their military strength, naming Bhramara (also called Raviśvaśūra/Kuhanaśna) and describing the large combined-arms force—chariots, elephants, horses, and infantry—that follows him.
