अर्जुन–उलूपीसंवादः
Arjuna and Ulūpī: Explanation of Śānti and the Maṇipūra Resolution
तमर्जुन: समाश्चास्य पुनरेवेदमब्रवीत् । आगन्तव्यं परां चैत्रीमश्वमेथे नृपस्य न:
tam arjunaḥ samāśvāsya punar evedam abravīt | āgantavyaṃ parāṃ caitrīm aśvamedhe nṛpasya naḥ ||
অর্জুন তাঁকে সান্ত্বনা দিয়ে পুনরায় বললেন— “রাজন! আসন্ন চৈত্রমাসের পূর্ণিমায় আমাদের মহারাজার অশ্বমেধযজ্ঞে অবশ্যই আগমন করবেন।”

The verse highlights dharmic restoration through reassurance and inclusion: instead of perpetuating conflict, Arjuna consoles the other party and directs them toward a public, lawful rite (Aśvamedha) that reaffirms legitimate sovereignty and social harmony.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Arjuna, after calming and encouraging the addressed person, instructs him to attend the forthcoming Caitra full-moon occasion at their king’s Aśvamedha sacrifice—an invitation that signals acceptance and the consolidation of the king’s authority.
