毗湿摩说道：“噢，郁提希提罗！安婆利沙王听闻释迦（因陀罗）此言，并在心中领受，遂确信：对武士而言，成功与成就会自然而然地到来，乃其所受天命之职分的必然结果。”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the idea that when a warrior acts within the bounds of kṣatriya-dharma, the ‘siddhi’ (rightful attainment or success) is regarded as inherent—an assured outcome of properly performed duty, especially when affirmed by divine counsel.
Bhīṣma recounts that King Ambarīṣa listens to Indra’s statement, accepts it inwardly, and concludes that warriors attain success naturally—i.e., through the very performance of their ordained role.
