Educational Q&A
Authority and success are not enough; one must actively purify moral faults. Ethical purification is required both for righteous governance in this life and for a favorable state after death.
Skanda is giving an injunction in a didactic context, urging the listener to remove all ‘aśubha’ (moral impurity), emphasizing that the consequences of conduct extend from worldly power (ādhipatya) to the hereafter (paratra).
