Samantapañcaka Narrative and the Measure of an Akṣauhiṇī
पार्थस्य प्रतिषेधश्व॒ नारदेन सुर््िणा । अवरोहणं पुनश्चैव पाण्डूनां गन्धमादनात्,इसी समय देवर्षि नारदने आकर अर्जुनको अस्त्र-प्रदर्शनसे रोक दिया। अब पाण्डव गन्धमादन पर्वतसे नीचे उतरने लगे
pārthasya pratiṣedhaś ca nāradena surarṣiṇā | avarohaṇaṁ punaś caiva pāṇḍūnāṁ gandhamādanāt ||
त्याच वेळी देवर्षी नारदांनी पार्थ (अर्जुन) याला अस्त्र-प्रदर्शनापासून रोखले; त्यानंतर पांडव गंधमादन पर्वतावरून खाली उतरू लागले।

Educational Q&A
Power and skill are not to be exhibited for pride or impulse; dharmic conduct includes restraint and obedience to wise, higher guidance—here embodied by the divine seer Nārada.
Nārada arrives and prevents Arjuna from a display of weapons/astric prowess; after this intervention, the Pāṇḍavas proceed to descend from Mount Gandhamādana.
