अर्जुनस्योत्तरदिग्विजयः
Arjuna’s Northern Conquests and Tribute Collection
येन शक्रो दानवानां जघान नवतीर्नव । त॑ प्राप्प समहृष्यन्त रथं ते पुरुषर्षभा:,यह वही रथ था, जिसके द्वारा इन्द्रने निन््यानबे दानवोंका वध किया था। उस रथको पाकर वे तीनों नरश्रेष्ठ बहुत प्रसन्न हुए
yena śakro dānavānāṁ jaghāna navatīr nava | taṁ prāpya samahṛṣyanta rathaṁ te puruṣarṣabhāḥ ||
যে রথের দ্বারা শক্র (ইন্দ্র) নিরানব্বই দানবকে বধ করেছিলেন, সেটিই ছিল সেই রথ। সেই রথ লাভ করে সেই নরশ্রেষ্ঠগণ পরম আনন্দে উল্লসিত হলেন।

The verse highlights how divine-proven instruments of power (a chariot famed for Indra’s victory) inspire confidence and morale in righteous heroes; it also underscores the cultural idea that past merit and victorious association can strengthen resolve in a difficult undertaking.
A renowned chariot—previously used by Indra to slay ninety-nine Dānavas—is obtained by the heroes, and they rejoice greatly upon receiving it.
