भुड्ुक्त एव तु कौन्तेयो नास्यादन्यत्र वर्तते । हस्तस्तेजस्विनस्तस्य अनुग्रहणकारणात्,उस समय भी कुन्तीनन्दन अर्जुन भोजन करते ही रहे। उन तेजस्वी अर्जुनका हाथ अभ्यासवश अँधेरेमें भी मुखसे अन्यत्र नहीं जाता था
Transliteration
bhukta eva tu kaunteyo nāsyād anyatra vartate | hastas tejasvinas tasya anugrahaṇa-kāraṇāt ||
Translation
But Kuntī’s son Arjuna continued eating without pause. For that radiant hero, his hand—trained by constant practice—did not stray elsewhere; even in darkness it moved unerringly to his mouth, as if guided by ingrained discipline and self-control.
