यज्ञवाटवैभववर्णनम् / Description of the Splendour of the Sacrificial Enclosure
रेमु: श्रुत्वा विचित्रां तां धनंजयकथां शुभाम् । उस समय भीमसेन आदि कौरव और यज्ञ करानेवाले ब्राह्मणलोग अर्जुनके सम्बन्धमें यह शुभ एवं विचित्र बात सुनकर बहुत प्रसन्न हो रहे थे
remuḥ śrutvā vicitrāṃ tāṃ dhanañjayakathāṃ śubhām |
Сказал Юдхиштхира: «Услышав то благоприятное и дивное повествование о Дхананджае (Арджуне), они возрадовались». Тогда и Бхимасена с прочими родичами, и брахманы, совершавшие жертвоприношение, услышав эту благую и необычайную весть об Арджуне, были исполнены великой радости.

The verse highlights the social and ethical power of śubha-kathā—an auspicious account of noble action. When righteous deeds are heard and remembered, they generate joy, reinforce confidence in dharma, and unite the community around exemplary conduct.
Yudhiṣṭhira reports that, upon hearing a remarkable and auspicious account about Arjuna (Dhanañjaya), the listeners became delighted. In the surrounding context (as reflected in the Gītā Press prose), this joy is shared by figures like Bhīmasena and others, as well as the priests officiating the sacrifice.
