अर्जुनों यमजौ चोभौ द्रौपदी च यशस्विनी । स च भीमो महातेजा: सर्वेषामुत्तमो बली
arjuno yamajau cobhau draupadī ca yaśasvinī | sa ca bhīmo mahātejāḥ sarveṣām uttamo balī ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。アルジュナ、双子の二人、名高きドラウパディ—そして大いなる光輝を放つビーーマもまた—皆のうちで力において最も勝れていた。語りは、パーンダヴァたちの並外れた力量と道義の決意を際立たせ、その力を、支配のためではなく、正しき忍耐を支える拠り所として示している。

The verse highlights that true excellence includes both capability and character: the Pandavas’ superior strength and splendor are presented as resources meant to uphold dharma and endure hardship, not as grounds for arrogance.
Vaiśaṃpāyana enumerates key members of the Pandava group—Arjuna, the twins (Nakula and Sahadeva), Draupadī, and Bhīma—emphasizing that Bhīma in particular stands out as the foremost in strength among them.
