Shloka 40
संजातप्रत्ययो$तीव वीक्ष्य चैवं पुनः पुन: । प्रशशंस नरव्यात्रावुभी माधवपाण्डवौ
sañjātapratyayo ’tīva vīkṣya caivaṁ punaḥ punaḥ | praśaśaṁsa naravyāghrāv ubhī mādhavapāṇḍavau ||
幾度も見返すうちに、彼の確信はいよいよ強くなった。そこで彼は、マーダヴァ（クリシュナ）とパーンダヴァ（アルジュナ）という二人の英雄を、人中の虎として惜しみなく称えた。この確信は、カルナが息子とともに倒れているのを見、戦の決定的な帰結が神意に導かれたかのようであると悟ったことから生じ、彼らの武威が戦の大いなるダルマの秩序にかなうものだと認めさせたのである。

The verse highlights the ethical movement from doubt to certainty through direct observation, culminating in rightful acknowledgment of excellence. It suggests that when the truth of events becomes clear—especially in a dharma-charged conflict—one should recognize and honor the agents who fulfilled their duty, here Kṛṣṇa’s guidance and Arjuna’s valor.
After repeatedly examining the situation and becoming fully convinced (in context, upon seeing Karṇa fallen), the speaker extols both Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava) and Arjuna (the Pāṇḍava) as supreme warriors, praising their decisive role in the battle’s outcome.
