Chapter 47: Krauñca-vyūha Deployment and Conch-Signals
Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
साधु साध्विति सर्वत्र निश्चेरु: स्तुतिसंहिता: । वाच: पुण्या: कीर्तिमतां मनोहदयहर्षणा:
sādhu sādhv iti sarvatra niśceruḥ stutisaṃhitāḥ | vācaḥ puṇyāḥ kīrtimatāṃ manohṛdayaharṣaṇāḥ ||
قال سنجيا: في كل مكان انفجرت كلمات الثناء: «أحسنت! أحسنت!» أقوالٌ مفعمة بالمديح. كانت كلماتٍ مباركةً ذاتَ أجر، نطق بها ذوو الصيت، فأبهجت العقل والقلب وهي تمجّد الباندافا ذوي المجد.
संजय उवाच
Public acclaim is portrayed as naturally arising for righteous and valorous conduct: ‘puṇyāḥ vācaḥ’ suggests that praise becomes ethically meaningful when it celebrates dharmic excellence and uplifts the listener’s mind and heart.
Sañjaya reports that, in response to the Pāṇḍavas’ notable deed (in the surrounding battle context), people on all sides spontaneously voice ‘sādhu sādhu’—eulogistic, auspicious words that spread and hearten those who hear them.
