साधु साध्विति सर्वत्र निश्चेरु: स्तुतिसंहिता: । वाच: पुण्या: कीर्तिमतां मनोहदयहर्षणा:
sādhu sādhv iti sarvatra niśceruḥ stutisaṃhitāḥ | vācaḥ puṇyāḥ kīrtimatāṃ manohṛdayaharṣaṇāḥ ||
Sañjaya said: Everywhere there burst forth words of praise—“Well done! Well done!”—utterances filled with eulogy, auspicious and meritorious, spoken by the renowned, gladdening both mind and heart as they celebrated the illustrious Pāṇḍavas.

Educational Q&A
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.
