समरश्लाघधिनौ वीरौ समरेष्वपराजितौ । मम वाक्यसमोौ चैव दिष्ट्या पश्यामि वामहम्,“तुम दोनों वीर मेरे कथनके अनुरूप ही युद्धकी श्लाघा रखनेवाले तथा समरांगणमें पराजित न होनेवाले हो। सौभाग्यसे मैं तुम दोनोंको यहाँ सकुशल देख रहा हूँ"
saṃaraślāghadhinau vīrau samareṣv aparājitau | mama vākyasamau caiva diṣṭyā paśyāmi vām aham ||
Sañjaya said: “You two heroes are, as my words described, men who take pride in battle and are not defeated in the clash of arms. By good fortune, I behold you both here—safe and unharmed.”
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights the warrior ethic of steadfastness and renown in battle, while also acknowledging the role of fortune (diṣṭyā) in survival—suggesting that human valor and destiny are both operative in the war narrative.
Sañjaya addresses two unnamed warriors in the dual, praising them as undefeated and matching his earlier description, and expresses relief and gratitude that he sees them safe.
