FAQs
Pākaśāsana is an epithet of Indra, meaning “the chastiser/punisher of Pāka,” a traditional name highlighting Indra’s victory over an asura named Pāka.
The verse presents a narrative cause-and-effect: by a certain act, friendship is formed, and Urvaśī is given to Indra; thereafter Indra becomes a friend—emphasizing alliance-making through decisive actions.
Implicitly, it suggests that relationships and alliances arise from concrete deeds (such as gifts or assistance), and that social bonds—especially among rulers—are often shaped by reciprocity and political goodwill.
