Brahma-danda literally means the stick in the hand of a Brahmana. Figuratively, it implies the chastisement inflicted by a Brahmana in the form of a curse. As such it is more effective than the thunderbolt in the hands of Indra himself, for the thunderbolt blasts only those objects that lie within its immediate range. The Brahmana's curse, however, blasts even those that are unborn.
In the second line, again, for Prishtha-ascha samantatas, the correct reading is Prisharaischa samantatas. Brahma-danda literally means a Brahmana's rod bamboo-stick. The latter can strike only one, but the former can smite whole countries, and entire races from generation to generation.
With only his Brahma-danda Vasishtha baffled all the mighty and celestial weapons of Viswamitra vide, Ramayana, section 56, Valakanda. I have not, however, met with any Trigartas under Salwa's rule, that race having, at this time, Susarman for their ruler. Indraddhwaja was a pole, decked with banners, created in honour of Indra. The festival attracted considerable crowds.
