Sandhi Resolution Notes: svāminaścāpi → svāminaḥ + ca + api; sarvāsāmapi → sarvāsām + api.
It promises material support (livelihood) through authority figures (king and master) and a broader rise of good fortune for all, attributed to a specific spiritual “power” (śakti).
It assumes patronage and protection from rulers and household/occupational superiors as normal channels for sustenance, integrated with the idea that spiritual merit or blessing can improve worldly outcomes.
Worldly stability is portrayed as supported by rightful authority and responsible stewardship, while prosperity is framed as something that should extend to “all,” not merely an individual.
