Shloka 73
तोषितो भगवान् येन महात्मा वृषभध्वज: । कथं वा तस्य न जयो जायते शतलोचन,“शतलोचन! जिन्होंने महात्मा भगवान् वृषभध्वजको संतुष्ट किया है, उनकी विजय कैसे नहीं होगी
toṣito bhagavān yena mahātmā vṛṣabhadhvajaḥ | kathaṃ vā tasya na jayo jāyate śatalocana ||
三阇耶说道：“噢，百眼者（沙多罗遮那）！那使吉祥的主宰——大心的弗利沙婆陀缚阇——心满意足之人，胜利又怎会不降临于他？”

Educational Q&A
Victory is portrayed as inseparable from divine grace: if one has truly pleased Śiva (Vṛṣabhadhvaja) through devotion and worthy conduct, success naturally follows. The verse emphasizes ethical-spiritual causality behind worldly outcomes like triumph in battle.
Sañjaya, narrating events, addresses ‘Śatalocana’ and asserts that the person who has satisfied the great Lord Vṛṣabhadhvaja cannot be denied victory. It functions as a rhetorical assurance that divine approval decisively supports a combatant’s success.
