サञ्जयは言った。「王よ、ファールグナ（アルジュナ）が並外れた敏捷と武威を示すのを見て、神々、ダーナヴァ、ガンダルヴァ、ピシャーチャ、ナーガ、ラークシャサは『善いぞ、善いぞ！』と喝采し、讃辞をもって彼を敬った。」

Educational Q&A
Excellence in one’s rightful duty (especially kṣatriya-dharma in battle) becomes worthy of honor even from unlikely quarters; the verse frames Arjuna’s prowess as publicly accountable and cosmically witnessed, implying that valor aligned with duty earns legitimate praise.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that many classes of beings—divine, semi-divine, and fearsome—observe Arjuna’s extraordinary speed and skill in the battle and respond by applauding him with cries of “sādhu, sādhu,” thereby celebrating his performance on the battlefield.
