द्रोणपार्थस्तवोपेता व्यश्रूयन्त नराधिप । नरेश्वर! वहाँ द्रोणाचार्य और अर्जुनकी स्तुतिसे युक्त अदृश्य व्यक्तियोंके मुखोंसे निकली हुई बातें बारंबार सुनायी देने लगीं
droṇapārthastavopetā vyaśrūyanta narādhipa | nareśvara! tatra droṇācārya-arjunayoḥ stutyā yuktā adṛśya-vyaktīnāṃ mukhebhyo niṣkrāntā vācaḥ bāraṃbāraṃ śrūyante sma |
サञ्जयは言った。「王よ、ドローナとアルジュナを讃える言葉が、見えぬ者たちの口から発せられるかのように、幾度も幾度も聞こえてきた。戦の騒乱のただ中で繰り返されるこの称賛は、並外れた武勇と、武人の掟への忠実さとが、人の戦場を超えたところで目撃され、是認されていることを告げている。」

Educational Q&A
Even amid violent conflict, actions aligned with one’s ordained duty (kṣatriya-dharma) and exceptional skill can draw recognition that transcends ordinary human judgment; the repeated, unseen praise underscores that moral and heroic evaluation is not limited to the visible participants on the field.
Sanjaya reports to the king that, on the battlefield, repeated words lauding Drona and Arjuna are being heard as if spoken by invisible beings—suggesting a supernatural or cosmic audience observing and commenting on the unfolding combat.
