Shloka 36
अर्जुनागमनम्
Arjuna’s Arrival and Reunion on the Sacred Mountain
सकिजन्नरमहानागमुनिगन्धर्वराक्षसान् | हर्षयन् पर्वतस्याग्रमारुह्वु स महाबल:,पर्ववके शिखरपर आरूढ़ हो महाबली भीम किन्नर, महानाग, मुनि, गन्धर्व तथा राक्षसोंका हर्ष बढ़ाने लगे
sa-kiṁjannarama-hānāga-muni-gandharva-rākṣasān | harṣayan parvatasyāgram āruhya sa mahābalaḥ ||
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: El poderoso, tras subir a la cumbre, deleitó a los Kinnaras, a los grandes Nāgas, a los sabios, a los Gandharvas y a los Rākṣasas, despertando alegría entre los seres que habitaban aquella altura. La escena subraya que la verdadera fuerza, guiada por el dominio de sí, puede elevar en vez de infundir temor.

Educational Q&A
Strength is portrayed as most admirable when it brings reassurance and joy rather than intimidation; the hero’s power, expressed without cruelty, becomes a source of uplift even among diverse and formidable beings.
The mighty hero ascends to the mountain’s summit and, by his presence and actions, delights various non-human and semi-divine groups—Kinnaras, Nāgas, sages, Gandharvas, and Rākṣasas—creating a moment of shared exhilaration in the wilderness setting.
