サンジャヤは言った。「この世で勝利し、来世でも大いなる名声を得たパーンダヴァたちは歓喜し、矢を弓に番え、弦を鳴り響かせ、法螺貝を吹き、幾度も力強い獅子吼をあげた。ついで大王よ、ビーマセーナと、パールシャタ（ドルパダ）の子ドリシュタデュムナが（次に進み/次に事を起こし）た。」

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal that righteous victory brings both worldly success and enduring renown; public signals—bow-twang, conch-blast, and lion-roar—serve as disciplined expressions of courage and collective resolve rather than mere noise.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya reports that the Pāṇḍavas, celebrating a decisive advantage, loudly proclaim their triumph by readying arrows on bows, twanging bowstrings, blowing conches, and roaring; the narration then turns to the actions of Bhīma and Dhṛṣṭadyumna.
