=== Commentary (टीका) ===
This verse emphasizes the limited and context-specific nature of aesthetic beauty and artistic skill. The 'vīṇā' (a musical instrument) symbolizes art, and its beauty and playing proficiency are acknowledged. However, the verse reminds us that while these can captivate audiences and provide enjoyment, they are inadequate as tools for gaining or maintaining sovereignty or command over a realm. The sloka subtly distinguishes between superficial appeal and the deep qualities required for true leadership or governance, suggesting a broader consideration of values beyond mere aesthetic or sensuous appeal.
