Educational Q&A
The verse presents an ideal of kingship where prosperity (śrī), excellence (likened to Indra’s steed), and an honorific name (‘Aparājita’, unconquered) together signal the expected firmness and dignity of a ruler.
Vaiśampāyana continues a genealogical or descriptive account, identifying the second among a group as the ruler who came to be known as King Aparājita, characterized as prosperous and Indra-like in excellence.
