Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that true empowerment is not merely martial strength (gaḍā) but also sacred sustenance and purity (kamaṇḍalu) and disciplined authority (daṇḍa), ideally granted under the guidance of a wise teacher like Bṛhaspati.
Vaiśampāyana narrates a moment of bestowal: Kumāra receives a divine, nectar-yielding kamaṇḍalu as a gift given with affection, and Bṛhaspati additionally grants him a staff—marking honor, preparation, and sanctioned capability.
