アルジュナは言った。「おお、祝福された主よ。ジャールーティー（Jārūthī）の都において、あなたはアーフティ（Āhuti）とクラ―タ（Krātha）を打ち破り、さらに従者どもと共にシシュパーラ（Śiśupāla）を屈服させ、同じくジャラーサンダ（Jarāsandha）、シャイビヤ（Śaibya）、シャタダンヴァン（Śatadhanvan）をも征服された。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the dharmic ideal of righteous strength: a great leader’s power is measured not merely by victory, but by the capacity to restrain disruptive rulers and protect order. It also underscores the ethical weight of fame—renown is grounded in actions that restore stability.
Arjuna addresses a revered figure (“Bhagavan”) and recalls a sequence of past victories: in Jārūthī, several notable kings/warriors—Āhuti, Krātha, Śiśupāla with his supporters, Jarāsandha, Śaibya, and Śatadhanvan—are said to have been defeated/subdued.
