അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ബുദ്ധിമാനായ അർജുനൻ വിഷാദത്തിലാഴുകയില്ല; കാരണം അവൻ സർവ്വാസ്ത്രവിദഗ്ധൻ. ദേവന്മാരോ ഗന്ധർവ്വന്മാരോ രാക്ഷസന്മാരോ പോലും അവനെ കീഴടക്കാൻ കഴിയില്ല.

Educational Q&A
Despair is countered by recalling one’s cultivated strengths and responsibilities: Arjuna’s mastery of weapons and proven capability make dejection inappropriate, urging steadiness and confidence aligned with kṣatriya duty.
Vaiśampāyana reassures that Arjuna, being wise and a knower of all astras, will not succumb to despondency; he is portrayed as unassailable even against superhuman classes of beings, emphasizing his readiness and exceptional prowess.
