हिरण्यपुरवर्णन–रौद्रास्त्रप्रयोगः

Hiraṇyapura Described and the Deployment of the Raudra Weapon

ततो देवर्षयश्नैव तथान्ये च महर्षय: । ब्रद्मर्षयश्न सिद्धाश्न समाजम्मुर्महामृथे,उस समय बहुत-से देवर्षि तथा अन्य महर्षि एवं ब्रह्मर्षि और सिद्धगण उस महायुद्धमें (देखनेके लिये) आये। वे सब-के-सब मेरी विजय चाहते थे। अतः उन्होंने जैसे तारकामय संग्रामके अवसरपर इन्द्रकी स्तुति की थी, उसी प्रकार अनुकूल एवं मधुर वचनोंद्वारा मेरा भी स्तवन किया

tato devarṣayaś caiva tathānye ca maharṣayaḥ | brahmarṣayaś ca siddhāś ca samājamur mahāmṛdhe ||

その後、多くの天の聖仙たちに加え、ほかの大牟尼—ブラフマリシやシッダたちも—その大戦を見届けようと集い来た。彼らは皆、私の勝利を望み、かつて星辰の戦(ターラカーマヤ戦)においてインドラを讃えたように、今度は好意に満ちた甘美な言葉で私をも称え、決意を強め、我が大義の正しさを確証した。

Educational Q&A

Righteous action gains strength from the approval of the wise: the presence and blessings of seers symbolize moral validation, and their gentle praise reinforces courage without arrogance—victory is sought in alignment with dharma, not merely by force.

Arjuna recounts that celestial and great sages—Devarṣis, Maharṣis, Brahmarṣis, and Siddhas—came to observe a major battle. Wishing for his success, they praised him in supportive words, likening their encouragement to the way they once praised Indra during the Tārakāmaya conflict.
