Educational Q&A

The verse links personal excellence (tejas, martial capability) and social recognition (naming, fame) with the idiom of sacrificial merit, suggesting that lineage is ideally celebrated through dharmic prestige and luminous virtue rather than mere power.

Vaiśampāyana narrates the birth of Sutasoma, describing him as a great archer and comparing his radiance to the Moon (Soma) and the Sun (Arka), and indicating Bhīmasena as his father.
