Sarasvatī–Tārkṣya Saṃvāda: Agnihotra-vidhi, Dāna-phala, and Mokṣa-prasaṅga (सरस्वती–तार्क्ष्यसंवादः)
स चापि सम्यक् प्रणिधाय शिक्षां शस्त्राणि चैषां विधिवत् प्रदाय | तवात्मजानां च तथाभिमन्यो: पराक्रमैस्तुष्यति रौक्मिणेय:,“अस्त्र-शस्त्रोंके प्रयोगकी उत्तम शिक्षा दे उनके लिये उन्होंने विधिपूर्वक नाना प्रकारके शस्त्र भी दे रक्खे हैं। तुम्हारे पुत्रों और अभिमन्युके पराक्रम देखकर रुक्मिणीनन्दन प्रद्युम्न बहुत संतुष्ट रहते हैं
sa cāpi samyak praṇidhāya śikṣāṃ śastrāṇi caiṣāṃ vidhivat pradāya | tavātmajānāṃ ca tathābhimanyoḥ parākramais tuṣyati raukmiṇeyaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Having applied himself properly to their training and having duly bestowed various weapons upon them according to rule, the son of Rukmiṇī (Pradyumna) remains greatly pleased, seeing the valor of your sons and of Abhimanyu. The passage underscores disciplined instruction and lawful transmission of martial skill, where prowess is grounded in proper education and right procedure rather than mere aggression.
