Shloka 40
संजातप्रत्ययो$तीव वीक्ष्य चैवं पुनः पुन: । प्रशशंस नरव्यात्रावुभी माधवपाण्डवौ
sañjātapratyayo ’tīva vīkṣya caivaṁ punaḥ punaḥ | praśaśaṁsa naravyāghrāv ubhī mādhavapāṇḍavau ||
Pagkatitig nang paulit-ulit, lalo siyang napuno ng matinding katiyakan. Pagkaraan, masaganang pinuri niya ang dalawang bayani—si Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa) at ang Pāṇḍava (Arjuna)—na tila mga tigre sa hanay ng tao. Ang katiyakang ito’y nag-ugat sa pagkakita kay Karṇa na napatay kasama ang kanyang anak at sa pagkilala sa mapagpasiyang bunga ng labanan na wari’y ginabayan ng banal na kalooban, kaya’t kinilala niya ang kagitingang nakaayon sa mas malawak na kaayusang dharma ng digmaan.

The verse highlights the ethical movement from doubt to certainty through direct observation, culminating in rightful acknowledgment of excellence. It suggests that when the truth of events becomes clear—especially in a dharma-charged conflict—one should recognize and honor the agents who fulfilled their duty, here Kṛṣṇa’s guidance and Arjuna’s valor.
After repeatedly examining the situation and becoming fully convinced (in context, upon seeing Karṇa fallen), the speaker extols both Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava) and Arjuna (the Pāṇḍava) as supreme warriors, praising their decisive role in the battle’s outcome.
