サンジャヤは言った。――アルジュナもまた、その神に幾度となく礼拝した。彼を一切衆生の根源、そして過去・現在・未来の諸世界を生み出す者と悟り、アルジュナはマハーデーヴァの御足もとに重ねて敬礼を捧げた。

Educational Q&A
Even in the midst of warfare, dharmic conduct includes humility before the divine and recognition of a higher cosmic order. Arjuna’s repeated salutations express that true strength is grounded in reverence and awareness of the ultimate source of all existence.
Sanjaya narrates that Arjuna repeatedly bows to the revealed deity (identified in the received tradition here as Mahādeva/Śiva), having understood him as the primordial cause and the origin of the past, present, and future worlds.
