Shloka 40
संजातप्रत्ययो$तीव वीक्ष्य चैवं पुनः पुन: । प्रशशंस नरव्यात्रावुभी माधवपाण्डवौ,उसका कवच छिजन्न-भिन्न हो गया था और सारा शरीर बाणोंसे विदीर्ण हो चुका था। उस अवस्थामें पुत्रसहित मरे हुए कर्णको देखकर बारंबार उसका निरीक्षण करके राजा युधिष्ठिरको इस बातपर पूरा-पूरा विश्वास हुआ। फिर वे पुरुषसिंह श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुन दोनोंकी भूरि-भूरि प्रशंसा करने लगे
sañjātapratyayo ’tīva vīkṣya caivaṁ punaḥ punaḥ | praśaśaṁsa naravyāghrāv ubhī mādhavapāṇḍavau ||
ಹೀಗೆ ಪುನಃ ಪುನಃ ನೋಡಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ದೃಢ ನಿಶ್ಚಯ ಉಂಟಾಯಿತು. ಆಗ ಅವನು ನರవ్యಾಘ್ರರಾದ ಮಾಧವ (ಶ್ರೀಕೃಷ್ಣ) ಮತ್ತು ಪಾಂಡವ (ಅರ್ಜುನ)—ಇಬ್ಬರನ್ನೂ ಬಹಳವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಶಂಸಿಸಿದನು।

The verse highlights the ethical movement from doubt to certainty through direct observation, culminating in rightful acknowledgment of excellence. It suggests that when the truth of events becomes clear—especially in a dharma-charged conflict—one should recognize and honor the agents who fulfilled their duty, here Kṛṣṇa’s guidance and Arjuna’s valor.
After repeatedly examining the situation and becoming fully convinced (in context, upon seeing Karṇa fallen), the speaker extols both Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava) and Arjuna (the Pāṇḍava) as supreme warriors, praising their decisive role in the battle’s outcome.
