Vaiśampāyana said: When they were reunited with the immeasurable hero (Arjuna), the Pāṇḍavas were filled with the highest joy. And Arjuna too, the diadem-wearing warrior, on seeing them, rejoiced and repeatedly praised the king (Yudhiṣṭhira).

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct within family and polity: even the greatest warrior (Arjuna) expresses respect and public praise for the rightful king (Yudhiṣṭhira), showing that power is to be guided by humility, loyalty, and recognition of virtue.
After Arjuna’s return and reunion, the Pāṇḍavas experience overwhelming joy. Arjuna, seeing his brothers again, is equally delighted and commends Yudhiṣṭhira, reinforcing their unity and the legitimacy of Yudhiṣṭhira’s leadership.
