Ulūpī’s Disclosure and the Saṃjīvana-Maṇi: Arjuna’s Restoration (उलूपी-प्रकटनं संजीवनमणि-स्थापनं च)

«តាមទស្សនៈរបស់ខ្ញុំ មិនមានកំហុសអ្វីលើខ្ញុំទេ។ ឬទ្រង់គិតយ៉ាងដូចម្តេច ព្រះអង្គដ៏មានអានុភាព?» ពេលនាងនិយាយដូច្នេះ វិជ័យ (អរជុន) មានចិត្តស្ងប់សុខ ហើយបានឆ្លើយថា—

The verse foregrounds ethical accountability: a participant questions whether initiating or enabling conflict is blameworthy, and invites the other party’s judgment. It sets up a dharmic evaluation of intention, duty, and causality in warfare.
