वैशग्पायन उवाच पार्थ: प्राप्य धनु: श्रेष्ठमक्षय्ये च महेषुधी । रथं ध्वजं सभां चैव युधिष्ठिरमभाषत
vaiśampāyana uvāca | pārthaḥ prāpya dhanuḥ śreṣṭham akṣayye ca maheṣudhī | rathaṃ dhvajaṃ sabhāṃ caiva yudhiṣṭhiram abhāṣata ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。パールタ（アルジュナ）は、最上の弓を得、尽きることなき大いなる矢筒二つを得、さらに戦車と軍旗と सभा（集会殿）をも授かったのち、ユディシュティラに言葉をかけた。
वैशग्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Power and divine endowments (weapons, chariot, royal hall) are ethically meaningful only when subordinated to dharma and legitimate governance—here, Arjuna’s acquisitions culminate in reporting to and supporting Yudhiṣṭhira’s rightful leadership.
Arjuna (Pārtha), having obtained the supreme bow and other extraordinary resources—two inexhaustible quivers, a chariot, a banner, and an assembly-hall—becomes encouraged and then addresses Yudhiṣṭhira, setting up the next action or counsel in the episode.
