अर्जुनस्य तीर्थयात्रा तथा मणलूर-सम्बन्धः
Arjuna’s Pilgrimage and the Maṇalūra Alliance
जितारयो महाप्रज्ञा: सत्यधर्मपरायणा: । मुर्दे परमिकां प्राप्तास्तत्रोषु: पाण्डुनन्दना:,वे सभी शत्रुओंपर विजय पा चुके थे, सभी महाबुद्धिमान् थे। सबने सत्यधर्मका आश्रय ले रखा था। इस प्रकार वे पाण्डव वहाँ बड़े आनन्दके साथ रहते थे
jitārayo mahāprajñāḥ satyadharmaparāyaṇāḥ | mūrdhe paramikāṁ prāptās tatroṣuḥ pāṇḍunandanāḥ ||
ولمّا قهروا أعداءهم، بلغَ أبناءُ باندو—ذوو الحكمة العظيمة، المتمسّكون بالصدق والدَّهَرْما—أعلى مراتب السؤدد؛ وهناك أقاموا راضين مطمئنّين، ثابتين على السيرة القويمة بعد ظفرهم.

Educational Q&A
The verse links true eminence to ethical foundations: victory and high status are portrayed as meaningful when grounded in satya (truthfulness) and dharma (righteous duty). Wisdom and moral commitment are presented as the proper supports of power and prosperity.
Vaiśampāyana describes the Pāṇḍavas as having overcome their enemies and reached a position of preeminence; established in truth and dharma, they live there in satisfaction and stability after their successes.
