Adhyāya 110: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Lament on Fate; Saṃjaya’s Reproof and the Princes’ Assault on Bhīma (द्रोणपर्व, अध्याय ११०)
अपूजयन् मारुतिं च संहृष्टास्ते महाबलम् । प्रह्ादं समरे जित्वा यथा शक्रं मरुद्गणा:,उन्होंने अत्यन्त हर्षमें भरकर महाबली भीमसेनकी उसी प्रकार भूरि-भूरि प्रशंसा की, जैसे मरुदगणोंने समरांगणमें प्रह्नमादको जीतकर आये हुए देवराज इन्द्रकी स्तुति की थी
sañjaya uvāca | apūjayan mārutiṃ ca saṃhṛṣṭās te mahābalam | prahrādaṃ samare jitvā yathā śakraṃ marudgaṇāḥ ||
サञ्जयは言った。彼らは大いに歓喜し、風神の子（ビーマ）たる大力の勇者を幾度も敬い讃えた。それは、戦場でプラフラーダを征して帰還したインドラ（シャクラ）を、マルットの群れが称えるのと同じであった。

The verse highlights the ethical-social function of honoring courage and service: when strength is used effectively for one’s cause, the community responds with gratitude and praise, likened to divine attendants celebrating their leader’s victory.
Sañjaya reports that the warriors, overjoyed, celebrate and honor Bhīma (called Māruti) for his battlefield success, comparing their praise to the Maruts lauding Indra after he defeats Prahrāda in combat.
