Ulūpī’s Disclosure and the Saṃjīvana-Maṇi: Arjuna’s Restoration (उलूपी-प्रकटनं संजीवनमणि-स्थापनं च)
न हि दोषो मम मत: कथं वा मन्यसे विभो । इत्येवमुक्तो विजय: प्रसन्नात्माब्रवीदिदम्
na hi doṣo mama mataḥ kathaṃ vā manyase vibho | ityevam ukto vijayaḥ prasannātmābravīd idam ||
「わたしの見立てでは、わたしに咎はありません。あるいは、力ある御方よ、あなたはどうお考えですか。」そう問われて、ヴィジャヤ(アルジュナ)は心を澄ませ、次のように語った——
अर्जुन उवाच
The verse foregrounds ethical accountability: a participant questions whether initiating or enabling conflict is blameworthy, and invites the other party’s judgment. It sets up a dharmic evaluation of intention, duty, and causality in warfare.
A speaker asserts, "I see no fault in myself—what is your view?" After being addressed in this way, Arjuna (called Vijaya) becomes composed and begins to reply, indicating a shift from accusation or doubt toward reasoned moral clarification.
