The Lord shows both skill and tenderness: 'śalyān uddhṛtya pāṇibhyām... pāyayām āsa,' with His own hands He draws out the arrows, wipes them down, gives them water. 'Kuśalaḥ aśvakarmaṇi,' skilled in horse-craft — God is capable even of this. It is telling that the Lord of all descends to the groom's trade out of love. The verse teaches that God's mercy is active and skillful: He does not disdain any labor for the sake of the suffering, healing the wounded and speechless with His own hands; and the Lord's greatness shines fullest not in wonders of power but in tender care for the small and defenseless.
