Дхритараштра сказал: «Он завершил изучение Вед и совершил выпускное омовение; завершил и обетную дисциплину и также совершил выпускное омовение; и в науке стрельбы из лука достиг совершенства. Подобно великому океану и подобно Раме, сыну Дашаратхи, он не может быть поколеблен и не будет ввергнут в смятение.»

Educational Q&A
The verse links martial excellence with disciplined formation: mastery in war (Dhanurveda) is portrayed as grounded in learning (Veda) and completed vows (vrata). Ethical strength is framed as inner steadinessbeing akobhy01, unshakablerather than mere aggression.
Dhtar01ra describes a formidable warrior (contextually A5bvatth01m01) as unperturbable in battle, praising him as a fully trained sn01taka and a master of archery, and comparing his unshakable nature to the ocean and to R01ma son of Da5baratha.
