Transliteration
kṣāmayitvā tu kauravyaṃ raṇād uttaram āgatam | praśaśaṃsa tato matsyaḥ śṛṇvataḥ savyasācinaḥ ||
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: After seeking forgiveness from the Kuru prince (Yudhiṣṭhira), King Virāṭa then praised Uttara, who had returned from the battlefield—doing so while Arjuna, the ambidextrous archer, listened. The scene underscores a king’s duty to restore harmony through apology and to encourage valor publicly, even when the true agent of victory remains unclaimed.
