The verse reminds that beauty and auspicious imagery can surround even those aligned with unrighteousness; Dharma requires discernment beyond appearances.
A warrior’s face is described as radiant, framed by earrings, using a celestial comparison involving the moon and Punarvasu.
Radiance and auspicious appearance (śrī) are emphasized as descriptive traits, not as proof of moral worth.
