Educational Q&A
Exceptional power or skill, when framed within dharma, is portrayed as rare and almost unparalleled; Arjuna underscores that true mastery (here, of astras) is not common knowledge but a distinctive excellence that carries responsibility in righteous action.
Arjuna is describing and praising a particular person’s unmatched knowledge of diverse celestial and worldly weapons, asserting that across the entire threefold cosmos no other human equals this expertise, nor will anyone in the future.
