Shloka 34
तथा चैन पराक्रान्तमालोक्य मधुसूदन: । उवाच देवकीपूुत्र: प्रीयमाणो धनंजयम्,उन्हें इस प्रकार पराक्रम करते देख मधु दैत्यको मारनेवाले देवकीनन्दन भगवान् श्रीकृष्णने अर्जुनसे प्रसन्नतापूर्वक कहा--
tathā cainaṃ parākrāntam ālokya madhusūdanaḥ | uvāca devakīputraḥ prīyamāṇo dhanañjayam ||
Melihat dia mara ke hadapan dengan keberanian demikian, Madhusūdana—Tuhan Kṛṣṇa, putera Devakī—berbesar hati dan dengan gembira bertitah kepada Dhanañjaya (Arjuna).

Sañjaya reports that Kṛṣṇa watches Arjuna’s powerful advance on the battlefield. Pleased by Arjuna’s performance, Kṛṣṇa addresses him—signaling encouragement and imminent strategic or moral counsel.
