Even amid warfare, speech can return to dharmic auspiciousness: when violence subsides, the righteous response is to acknowledge valor and align one’s words with blessing rather than enmity, signaling moral clarity after conflict.
Sañjaya reports that after certain heroes ended the immediate clash, the assembled soldiers and kings collectively began offering benedictions to the Pāṇḍavas, marking a momentary closure of fighting and a public affirmation of the Pāṇḍavas’ standing.
