Sandhi Notes
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the ethical-spiritual principle of exclusive dedication: those who are truly “offered” to a higher ideal (here, Śakra/Indra) are defined by that allegiance and are considered inseparable from it—where the lord is, there are his devoted ones.
Śakra speaks in the didactic setting of Śānti Parva, describing the nature of those connected to him: his dear ones are characterized by devotion and self-offering, and their presence is implied wherever he is present.
