How the verse unfolds.
The returning victors remain armoured but have removed their helmets. These details carry the martial scene into a more intimate encounter with the Mother.
They turn from the offerings belonging to Śiva's attendant Caṇḍa and receive the camphor-bright betel from her mouth. Victory is followed by a personal gift, so the closing emphasis is on reception within her presence rather than further conquest. The scene describes the poem's divine household.
