Lokapāla-samāgamaḥ—Arjuna Receives Astras from the World-Guardians
Book 3, Chapter 42
तस्मिन् रथे स्थितं सूतं तप्तहेमविभूषितम् । दृष्टवा पार्थों महाबाहुर्देवमेवान्वतर्कयत्,महाबाहु कुन्तीकुमारने उस रथपर बैठे हुए सारथिकी ओर देखा, जो तपाये हुए सुवर्णके आभूषणोंसे विभूषित था। उसे देखकर उन्होंने कोई देवता ही समझा
tasmin rathe sthitaṁ sūtaṁ tapta-hemavibhūṣitam | dṛṣṭvā pārtho mahābāhur devam evānv atarkayat ||
その戦車に座す御者は、焼き磨かれた黄金の飾りに身を包んでいた。これを見た剛腕のパールタ（アルジュナ）は、彼を人ではなく神に違いないと見なした。この場面は、神々しい輝きと高貴な風格が畏敬を呼ぶことを示すとともに、神が人の役目を帯びて現れ、事の成り行きをダルマ（dharma）へと導くという叙事詩の反復する主題をほのめかしている。

Arjuna notices a charioteer seated on a chariot, richly adorned with burnished-gold ornaments; struck by the figure’s radiance, he reasons that the charioteer must be a divine being.
