अर्जुनकर्णसंनिपातवर्णनम् / The Convergence of Arjuna and Karṇa
अनुज्ञातं महावीर्य रामेणास्त्रे सुदुर्जयम् । अग्र्यं सर्वस्य लोकस्य रथिनं लोकविश्रुतम्
anujñātaṁ mahāvīrya rāmeṇāstre sudurjayam | agryaṁ sarvasya lokasya rathinaṁ lokaviśrutam

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how mastery and authorization in weapon-lore (astra-vidyā), especially from a revered teacher like Paraśurāma, can make a warrior formidable; it also cautions that worldly fame and technical power strongly shape the moral and strategic stakes of war.
Yudhiṣṭhira describes an opponent’s exceptional status: trained/authorized by Paraśurāma in a hard-to-counter astra and celebrated as a foremost chariot-warrior, emphasizing the danger and renown of the figure being discussed.
