Engagement and Countermeasures
प्रत्युत्थानं च कृष्णस्य सर्वावस्थो धनंजय: । न लोपयति धर्मात्मा भक्त्या प्रेम्णा च सर्वदा,धर्मात्मा धनंजय किसी भी अवस्थामें क्यों न हों, सदा प्रेम और भक्तिके साथ खड़े होकर श्रीकृष्णका स्वागत करते थे। अपने इस नियमका वे कभी लोप नहीं होने देते थे
pratyutthānaṃ ca kṛṣṇasya sarvāvastho dhanaṃjayaḥ | na lopayati dharmātmā bhaktyā premṇā ca sarvadā ||
Sañjaya said: Dhanañjaya (Arjuna), whatever his condition, would always rise to greet Kṛṣṇa. That righteous-souled one never let this observance lapse, performing it unfailingly with devotion and affectionate reverence.

Educational Q&A
Even amid hardship and conflict, dharma is preserved through consistent conduct: honoring the worthy, maintaining humility, and expressing devotion and gratitude without letting circumstances erode one’s ethical discipline.
Sañjaya describes Arjuna’s habitual practice: whenever he encounters Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna rises to welcome him. The point is to highlight Arjuna’s steadfast reverence and loving devotion, presented as an unbroken personal vow of proper conduct.
