इस प्रकार श्रीमद्याभारत शल्यपर्वमें कृपाचार्यका वचनविषयक चौथा अध्याय पूरा हुआ,गाहमानमनीकानि युध्यमानं महारथै: । पाण्डवैरतितेजोभिलोंकस्त्वामनुदृष्टवान्‌ “सब लोगोंने आपको शत्रुओंकी सेनाओंमें घुसते और अत्यन्त तेजस्वी महारथी पाण्डवोंके साथ युद्ध करते हुए बारंबार देखा है

gāhamānam anīkāni yudhyamānaṁ mahārathaiḥ | pāṇḍavair ati-tejobhir lokaḥ tvām anudarśitavān ||

Sanjaya said: “People have repeatedly witnessed you plunging into the enemy battle-formations and fighting there against the exceedingly radiant Pāṇḍava great chariot-warriors.” The line underscores the public, undeniable visibility of valor in war: courage is not merely claimed but proven before the eyes of many, and ethical reputation in a dharma-war is shaped by observable conduct amid danger.

Educational Q&A

In a dharma-framed war narrative, true valor and duty are established through observable action: the public repeatedly witnesses the warrior entering enemy formations and standing firm against formidable opponents, making reputation a matter of demonstrated conduct rather than mere assertion.

Sañjaya reports that the warrior addressed has been seen again and again charging into hostile battle-arrays and fighting the brilliant Pāṇḍava champions—an affirmation of intense frontline engagement against elite adversaries.
