Arjuna’s Northern Conquests and Tribute Collection
विष्णो समवसतन्नानां गिरिदुर्गे सुदारुणे । दिष्ट्या मोक्षाद् यशो दीप्तमाप्तं॑ ते यदुनन्दन
viṣṇo samavasatannānāṁ giridurge sudāruṇe | diṣṭyā mokṣād yaśo dīptam āptaṁ te yadunandana ||
ହେ ବିଷ୍ଣୋ! ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଭୟଙ୍କର ଗିରିଦୁର୍ଗରେ ବନ୍ଦୀ ହୋଇ ଆମେ ମହାଦୁଃଖରେ ଦିନ କାଟୁଥିଲୁ। ହେ ଯଦୁନନ୍ଦନ! ଏହି ସଙ୍କଟରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରି ଆପଣ ଦୀପ୍ତିମାନ ଯଶ ଲାଭ କରିଛନ୍ତି; ଏହା ମହାସୌଭାଗ୍ୟ।

Educational Q&A
Delivering others from danger and oppression is presented as a dharmic act that naturally yields ‘yaśas’ (honorable fame). The verse links ethical protection and public renown: glory is not mere conquest, but the moral credit of rescuing the afflicted.
The speaker reports that certain people were suffering confinement in a terrifying mountain fortress. Addressing Kṛṣṇa as Viṣṇu and Yadunandana, he praises Kṛṣṇa for securing their release, emphasizing both their relief and the radiant reputation Kṛṣṇa gains through this act.
