कुरुक्षेत्रे सेनानिवेशवृत्तान्तः — Dhṛtarāṣṭra Questions Saṃjaya on the Deployed Armies
अर्जुनस्यापि नेता च संयन्ता चैव वाजिनाम्
arjunasya api netā ca saṁyantā caiva vājinām
Вайшампаяна сказал: «Он также — наставник Арджуны и тот самый возничий, что сдерживает и направляет коней». Эта строка подчеркивает: ратная мощь Арджуны неотделима от дисциплинирующего руководства и умения обуздывать могучие силы.

Educational Q&A
True martial power depends on right guidance and disciplined control: a warrior’s success is sustained by a capable guide and the mastery that keeps powerful forces (like horses, or metaphorically the senses and impulses) aligned with purpose and dharma.
Vaiśampāyana describes the person associated with Arjuna as both his guide (netā) and the controller of his horses (saṁyantā), highlighting the crucial role of the charioteer in directing Arjuna’s chariot and, by extension, his course in the coming conflict.
