अलायुधस्य भीमवधसंकल्पः
Alāyudha’s Resolve to Confront Bhīma
त्वद्बुद्धिबलवीर्येण कृतवानेष फाल्गुन: । “जनार्दन! आपकी ही बुद्धि, बल और पराक्रमसे इस अर्जुनने यह देवताओंके लिये भी असम्भव कर्म कर दिखाया है
tvad-buddhi-bala-vīryeṇa kṛtavān eṣa phālgunaḥ |
Sañjaya dit : «Ô Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa) ! Par ton intelligence, ta force et ta vaillance, ce Phalguna (Arjuna) a accompli un acte — impossible même aux dieux.»
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights shared agency: extraordinary achievement in dharmic struggle arises from the union of human effort (Arjuna’s action) and higher guidance (Kṛṣṇa’s बुद्धि/strategy and शक्ति). It ethically reframes success as grounded in right counsel and alignment with a greater order, not mere egoic prowess.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, praising Arjuna’s accomplishment as superhuman in scale, while explicitly attributing its possibility to Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa). The statement functions as a narrative emphasis that Kṛṣṇa’s presence and guidance decisively empower the Pāṇḍava side.
