ślāghann eva hi karmāṇi śataśas tava pāṇḍavaḥ | mama sañjanayan harṣaṃ punaḥ punar akīrtayat ||
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “Indeed, the son of Pāṇḍu would repeatedly extol your deeds—hundreds of them—again and again recounting your virtues, and in doing so he continually increased my joy.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical power of sincere praise: recalling another’s virtuous deeds strengthens morale, reinforces shared values, and sustains righteous resolve amid the pressures of war.
Yudhiṣṭhira reports that Arjuna (the Pāṇḍava) repeatedly recounted and celebrated the listener’s deeds and qualities, and that this repeated remembrance and commendation increased Yudhiṣṭhira’s joy.
