Educational Q&A
The verse links legitimate royal power to divine favor and to dharmic use of that power: sovereignty and extraordinary might are validated when they culminate in yajña and dāna—public, ritualized generosity toward Brahmins—rather than mere conquest for self-interest.
Vāsudeva recounts how a famed king, through Dattātreya’s grace, gained the extraordinary attribute of a thousand arms, became a cakravartin (universal ruler), and then performed the Aśvamedha, distributing gifts to Brahmins as part of the sacrificial rite.
