Dijo Vaiśampāyana: Al ver a Phālguna (Arjuna), con el cabello enmarañado en trenzas de asceta, entregado a la austeridad por mandato del señor de los dioses y, por ello, libre de mancha moral, el radiante hijo de Kuntī—el rey Yudhiṣṭhira—quedó sobrecogido por una inmensa alegría. La visión de Arjuna, purificado por un tapas disciplinado, muestra que la obediencia firme, el dominio de sí y el esfuerzo espiritual son fuentes de pureza interior y de fuerza legítima.

Educational Q&A

Disciplined tapas performed in obedience to rightful divine instruction is portrayed as purifying (akalmaṣa) and ethically strengthening; joy arises when virtue and steadfast effort are witnessed within one’s own family and community.

Yudhiṣṭhira sees Arjuna (Phālguna) returned/appearing in an ascetic state with matted hair, devoted to austerities under Indra’s direction, and is filled with great happiness at his brother’s purified, radiant condition.
