अर्जुनस्य निवातकवचवधाय नियोगः

Arjuna’s commissioning for the Nivātakavacas

इहैव हर्षोउस्तु समागतानां क्षिप्रं कृतास्त्रेण धनंजयेन । इति ब्रुवन्त: परमाशिषणस्ते पार्थास्तपोयोगपरा बभूवु:,“इस पर्वतपर आये हुए हम सब लोगोंको यहीं अस्त्रविद्या सीखकर पधारे हुए अर्जुनके दर्शनसे शीघ्र ही अत्यन्त हर्षकी प्राप्ति हो; इस प्रकार परस्पर शुभ-कामना प्रकट करते हुए वे सभी कुन्तीपुत्र तप और योगके साधनमें संलग्न रहते थे

ihaiva harṣo 'stu samāgatānāṁ kṣipraṁ kṛtāstreṇa dhanaṁjayena | iti bruvantaḥ paramāśiṣas te pārthās tapoyogaparā babhūvuḥ ||

Vaiśampāyana sprach: „Mögen wir, die wir uns hier versammelt haben, bald schon hier an diesem Ort große Freude erlangen, indem wir Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) erblicken, der zurückgekehrt ist, nachdem er die Wissenschaft der Waffen gemeistert hat.“ So redeten sie—einander die höchsten Segenswünsche zusprechend—und jene Söhne der Pṛthā blieben der Askese und der Disziplin des Yoga ergeben.

Educational Q&A

The verse models dharmic conduct in adversity: cultivate auspicious speech and mutual goodwill, and ground one’s life in tapas (self-discipline) and yoga (inner steadiness), even while preparing for worldly duties like martial readiness.

The assembled Pāṇḍavas express a shared wish to feel immediate joy upon seeing Arjuna return, now accomplished in weapon-lore. While voicing these blessings to one another, they continue their practices of austerity and yoga.
