Protection of Droṇa’s formation and parallel duels
यसुञ्जय उवाच एतेनैव प्रतीतो<हं प्रसन्नो यद्भवान् मम । प्रसन्नो यस्य भगवान् न तस्यास्तीह दुर्लभम्,सृंजयने कहा--मुने! आप मुझपर प्रसन्न हैं, इतनेसे ही मैं पूर्ण संतुष्ट हूँ। जिसपर आप प्रसन्न हों, उसे इस जगत्में कुछ भी दुर्लभ नहीं है
sṛñjaya uvāca | etenaiva pratīto 'haṃ prasanno yad bhavān mama | prasanno yasya bhagavān na tasyāstīha durlabham ||
Sṛñjaya said: “By this alone I am assured and fully content—that you are pleased with me. For the one upon whom the venerable lordly sage is pleased, nothing in this world remains hard to obtain.”
यसुञ्जय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the power of a revered person’s (especially a sage’s) favor: when one has earned such grace through right conduct and humility, worldly and spiritual attainments cease to be ‘difficult.’
Sṛñjaya responds respectfully to a venerable figure, expressing that the other’s satisfaction itself is his reward, and asserting that the blessed favor of such a ‘bhagavān’ makes all aims attainable.
