Udyoga Parva Adhyaya 133 — A Mother’s Counsel to Saṃjaya
यदैव लभते वीर: सुयुद्धेन महद् यश: । तदैव प्रव्यथन्ते5स्य शत्रवों विनमन्ति च
yadaiva labhate vīraḥ suyuddhena mahad yaśaḥ | tadaiva pravyathante 'sya śatravo vinamanti ca ||
જ્યારે વીર ઉત્તમ યુદ્ધથી મહાન યશ પામે છે, ત્યારે જ તેના શત્રુઓ વ્યથિત થાય છે અને તેના આગળ મસ્તક નમાવે છે।

Educational Q&A
True renown is not claimed by words but earned through demonstrable excellence in rightful combat; such earned honor has an ethical and psychological force that humbles aggressors and breaks hostile arrogance.
The speaker describes a battlefield dynamic: once a warrior achieves conspicuous success and fame through superior fighting, the opposing side becomes demoralized and submits, symbolically ‘bowing’ before his prowess.
