Bhīmasena’s Capture by the Serpent and Nahūṣa’s Self-Disclosure (भीमसेन-भुजङ्गग्रहणं नहुषोपाख्यानप्रस्तावः)

ततः: संचोदयामास सोडर्जुनं भ्रातृनन्दनम्‌ दर्शयास्त्राणि कौन्तेय यैर्जिता दानवास्त्वया,तत्पश्चात्‌ उन्होंने भाइयोंको सुख पहुँचानेवाले अर्जुनको आज्ञा दी--'कुन्तीनन्दन! अब तुम उन दिव्यास्त्रोंका दर्शन कराओ जिनसे तुमने दानवोंपर विजय पायी है”

tataḥ sañcodayāmāsa so 'rjunaṃ bhrātṛnandanam—darśayāstrāṇi kaunteya yair jitā dānavās tvayā.

ついで彼は、兄弟たちの喜びであるアルジュナに促して言った。「クンティの子よ、いまこそ、おまえがダーナヴァらを打ち破った、その天授の神武を示してみよ。」この求めは、武の力を私有の誇りではなく、託された威力として照らし出す。用い方も証しも、責任と一族の安寧に結びついているのである。

Educational Q&A

Extraordinary power—especially divine weaponry—is treated as a trust: it must be demonstrable, accountable, and oriented toward rightful purpose (protecting and benefiting one’s people), not mere pride or violence.

The narrator reports that Arjuna is urged to show the celestial weapons with which he previously defeated the Dānavas, highlighting his proven prowess and the significance of those divinely granted arms.
