Chapter 40: Śiva in Kirāta Disguise Tests Arjuna
Mūka-vadha and the Contest
तूणौ चाप्यक्षयौ भूयस्तव पार्थ यथोचितौ । भविष्यति शरीरं च नीरुजं कुरुनन्दन,कुरुनन्दन! और ये रहे तुम्हारे दोनों अक्षय तूणीर, जो सर्वथा तुम्हारे ही योग्य हैं। कुन्तीकुमार! तुम्हारे शरीरमें जो चोट पहुँची है, वह सब दूर होकर तुम नीरोग हो जाओगे
tūṇau cāpy akṣayau bhūyas tava pārtha yathocitau | bhaviṣyati śarīraṃ ca nīrujaṃ kurunandana ||

And your body too, O delight of the Kurus, shall become free from pain and injury.” In this moment of divine reassurance, the hero is restored and re-equipped—not for vanity, but for righteous endurance and the fulfillment of his duty.
