स देवपितृगन्धर्वै: कुरूणां कीर्तिवर्धन: । मानित: कुरुते5स्त्राणि शक्रसझनि भारत,भारत! कुरुकुलकी कीर्ति बढ़ानेवाले अर्जुन इन्द्रभवनमें देवताओं, पितरों तथा गन्धर्वोंसे सम्मानित हो अस्त्रविद्याका अभ्यास करते हैं
sa devapitṛgandharvaiḥ kurūṇāṃ kīrtivardhanaḥ | mānitaḥ kurute 'strāṇi śakrasadmani bhārata ||
クベーラは言った。「おおバーラタよ、クル族の名声を高めるアルジュナは、インドラの天上の宮殿に住まう。神々、祖霊(Pitṛ)、そしてガンダルヴァに敬われつつ、彼は神武器の学を怠りなく修め、完成へと磨き上げている。」

True power is grounded in disciplined learning and humility: even a great hero like Arjuna advances by respectful training under higher authority, earning honor through merit and right conduct rather than arrogance.
Kubera informs Yudhiṣṭhira that Arjuna is in Indra’s celestial residence, where he is welcomed and honored by divine beings and is actively practicing and mastering celestial weapons (astras) in preparation for future challenges.
