Sabi ni Sañjaya: O Hari, maraming ibong mapalad at nagdadala ng kabutihan—yaong mga itinuturing na mabubuting pangitain—ang masayang naghuni, na para bang hinihimok si Arjuna na magmadali tungo sa labanan. Ang kanilang masiglang sigaw ay tanda ng paborableng pagliko ng kapalaran, na nagpapalakas sa loob sa gitna ng bigat ng digmaan at dharma.
