تیروں کے اثر سے انسان تیاگی، یجّیہ کرنے والا اور خود پر قابو رکھنے والا بنتا ہے؛ جماعت/لشکر میں وہ خون ریز اور پوشیدہ امور کا سردار ہو جاتا ہے۔ نیزے سے وہ کمینہ، سست اور مفلس بنتا ہے؛ ڈنڈ سے محبوب کی جدائی کا بھاگی ہوتا ہے۔

The verse reflects a jyotiṣa-like (Vedic astrology/omens) phala framework—mapping symbols (weapons/authority) to temperament and life-results—useful for traditional interpretive sciences that assess disposition and outcomes.
