FAQs
Śatakratu is an epithet of Indra, the king of the gods, famed for performing many sacrifices (kratus).
The verse uses a simile: the Kuru prince, surrounded by his brothers, shines in heaven the way Indra shines when surrounded by the devas.
It highlights honor gained through noble association and shared virtue—splendor is amplified when one stands among worthy companions (here, brothers and the divine assembly).
