Shloka 46
अर्जुनश्वापि यच्चक्रे सिन्धुराजवध॑ प्रति । तन्मे सर्व समाचक्ष्व कुशलो हासि संजय
arjunaś cāpi yac cakre sindhurāja-vadhaṁ prati | tan me sarvaṁ samācakṣva kuśalo hāsi sañjaya ||
Dhṛtarāṣṭra dit : «Et dis-moi aussi en entier ce qu’Arjuna fit dans le dessein de tuer le roi du Sindhu. Raconte-moi tout, Sañjaya — te portes-tu bien ?»

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical weight of vowed action in war: a warrior’s resolve (here, Arjuna’s aim to slay Jayadratha) must be accounted for and narrated truthfully, while the king’s inquiry also reflects concern for the messenger’s welfare—dharma includes both justice in conflict and humane regard in speech.
Dhṛtarāṣṭra asks Sañjaya to recount, in full detail, Arjuna’s actions undertaken to kill the Sindhu king Jayadratha, and he adds a customary inquiry about Sañjaya’s well-being.
