Transliteration
te bhānumanti citrāṇi śikharāṇi mahāgireḥ | samāsthāyārjunaṃ tatra dadṛśus tapasānvitam ||
Translation
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Having reached the radiant, wondrous peaks of the great mountain, they saw Arjuna there—steadfast and endowed with austerity—absorbed in his disciplined practice. The scene underscores how inner strength and righteous purpose are forged through tapas (self-restraint) before one can meet the demands of dharma.
