Engagement and Countermeasures

प्रत्युत्थानं च कृष्णस्य सर्वावस्थो धनंजय: । न लोपयति धर्मात्मा भक्त्या प्रेम्णा च सर्वदा,धर्मात्मा धनंजय किसी भी अवस्थामें क्‍यों न हों, सदा प्रेम और भक्तिके साथ खड़े होकर श्रीकृष्णका स्वागत करते थे। अपने इस नियमका वे कभी लोप नहीं होने देते थे

pratyutthānaṃ ca kṛṣṇasya sarvāvastho dhanaṃjayaḥ | na lopayati dharmātmā bhaktyā premṇā ca sarvadā ||

Sañjaya dit : Dhanañjaya (Arjuna), quelle que fût sa condition, se levait toujours pour accueillir Kṛṣṇa. Cette âme vouée au dharma ne laissa jamais se relâcher cette observance, l’accomplissant infailliblement avec dévotion et tendre révérence.

Educational Q&A

Even amid hardship and conflict, dharma is preserved through consistent conduct: honoring the worthy, maintaining humility, and expressing devotion and gratitude without letting circumstances erode one’s ethical discipline.

Sañjaya describes Arjuna’s habitual practice: whenever he encounters Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna rises to welcome him. The point is to highlight Arjuna’s steadfast reverence and loving devotion, presented as an unbroken personal vow of proper conduct.
