Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna Saṃvāda in Indraprastha: Consolation, Legitimation, and Leave for Dvārakā (आश्वमेधिकपर्व, अध्याय १५)
इतीदमुक्त: स तदा महात्मना जनार्दनेनामितविक्रमो<र्जुन: । तथेति दुःखादिव वाक्यमैरय- ज्जनार्दन॑ सम्प्रतिपूज्य पार्थिव
itīdam uktaḥ sa tadā mahātmanā janārdanenāmitavikramo 'rjunaḥ | tatheti duḥkhād iva vākyam airayaj janārdanaṃ sampratipūjya pārthivaḥ ||
そのとき、大いなる魂をもつジャナールダナ（クリシュナ）にかく語られ、無量の武威を備えたアルジュナは、その御言葉を敬い、悲しみに胸を圧されるかのように「しかるべし」と答えた。ついでジャナールダナにしかるべき礼拝を捧げ、プṛターの王子は、彼の出立の申し出を受け入れた。

Educational Q&A
Even when emotionally pained, one should uphold dharmic conduct—responding with restraint, consent, and reverence toward rightful guidance. Arjuna’s “tathā” shows disciplined acceptance, and his honoring of Janārdana models devotion expressed through proper action.
Kṛṣṇa (Janārdana) has spoken to Arjuna; Arjuna, though sorrowful, respectfully agrees—saying “tathā (so be it)”—and after paying due honor to Kṛṣṇa, accepts the proposal that Kṛṣṇa should depart.
