Translation
Sañjaya said: Having shown due honor for a brief while to the son of his teacher amid the great battle, Arjuna then, in that vast and terrible combat, began to draw his bow Gāṇḍīva with joy and renewed ardor—signaling that even in war he would uphold respect for worthy opponents while resolutely returning to his duty as a warrior.
