Adhyāya 55: Pārtha–Rādheya Saṃvāda and Tactical Exchange
Chapter 55
सदा ममैष मान्यस्तु सर्वशस्त्रभृतामपि । सुप्रसन्नं महावीरं कुरुष्वैनं प्रदक्षिणम्,ये मेरे तथा अन्य सब शस्त्रधारियोंके माननीय हैं। तुम इन परम प्रसन्न महावीर आचार्यपादकी रथद्वारा प्रदक्षिणा करो
arjuna uvāca | sadā mama eṣa mānyas tu sarvaśastrabhṛtām api | suprasannaṃ mahāvīraṃ kuruṣvainaṃ pradakṣiṇam ||
‘ଏହି ଆଚାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ସଦା ମୋର—ଏବଂ ସମସ୍ତ ଶସ୍ତ୍ରଧାରୀଙ୍କର ମଧ୍ୟ—ମାନ୍ୟ। ଏହି ମହାବୀର ଏବେ ପ୍ରସନ୍ନ; ରଥଦ୍ୱାରା ତାଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଦକ୍ଷିଣା କର।’

Educational Q&A
Even amid martial action, dharma requires honoring one’s teacher and elders; true heroism includes humility and reverent conduct, not merely prowess.
Arjuna instructs his companion to show formal respect to the revered ācārya—who is now favorably disposed—by performing a pradakṣiṇā using the chariot, signaling deference within a tense warrior setting.
