Sanjaya berkata: “Orang ramai telah berulang kali menyaksikan engkau menerobos masuk ke dalam formasi tentera musuh dan bertempur di sana melawan para maharathi Pāṇḍava yang amat bersinar.” Baris ini menegaskan bahawa keberanian di medan perang bukan sekadar dakwaan, tetapi terbukti di hadapan ramai; reputasi etika dalam perang dharma dibentuk oleh perbuatan yang nyata di tengah bahaya.
