Translation
Sanjaya said: O descendant of Kuru, having heard Keshava’s words, even Arjuna—Bibhatsu—addressed the Rakshasa Ghatotkacha, the subduer of foes. The scene underscores disciplined obedience to wise counsel in the midst of war, as Arjuna turns to a formidable ally for the sake of the larger duty of the battle.
