द्रोणपर्व — पञ्चदशोऽध्यायः (Droṇa Parva, Chapter 15): युधिष्ठिर-रक्षा तथा अर्जुनस्य शरवृष्टिः
पश्यतां शतशो हाासीदन्योन्यमभिधावताम् । पाण्डवानां कुरूणां च साधु साध्विति नि:स्वन:,एक दूसरेकी ओर दौड़ते हुए सैकड़ों दर्शकों, कौरवों और पाण्डवोंके साधुवादका महान् शब्द वहाँ सब ओर गूँजने लगा
paśyatāṁ śataśo hāsīd anyonyam abhidhāvatām | pāṇḍavānāṁ kurūṇāṁ ca sādhu sādhv iti niḥsvanaḥ ||
サञ्जयは語った。数百の見物人の目の前で彼らが互いに駆け寄り激突せんとしたとき、パーンダヴァとクルの双方から「善いぞ、善いぞ！」という大いなる称賛の声が起こり、四方にこだました。この場面は、戦の道義が闇に沈む中にあっても、武の技と勇気がなお公然と讃えられ、敵味方を越えて喝采されることを示している。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a moral tension: even in a fratricidal war, society instinctively applauds visible courage and skill. It invites reflection on how admiration for valor can coexist with, and sometimes obscure, the ethical tragedy of violence.
As warriors from the Pāṇḍava and Kuru sides charge at each other, many spectators watch, and a loud chorus of “sādhu, sādhu” (“bravo!”) rises from both armies, resounding across the battlefield.
