Shloka 26
प्राग्ज्योतिषे वज्रदत्त-धनंजय-समागमः
Vajradatta Confronts Dhanaṃjaya at Prāgjyotiṣa
ततो हलहलाशब्दो दिवस्पृणभवत् तदा । नानाविधानां भूतानां तत्कर्माणि प्रशंसताम्,फिर तो अर्जुनके उस पराक्रमकी प्रशंसा करते हुए नाना प्रकारके प्राणियोंका कोलाहल समूचे आकाशकमें व्याप्त हो गया
tato halahalāśabdo divaspṛṇ abhavat tadā | nānāvidhānāṃ bhūtānāṃ tatkarmāṇi praśaṃsatām ||
Rồi ngay lúc ấy, một tiếng huyên náo lớn—những tiếng hô “halahalā”—dâng lên như tràn ngập cả trời cao, khi muôn loài chúng sinh tán dương chiến công ấy.

The verse highlights how a deed aligned with dharma—courage used for a rightful purpose—naturally earns widespread praise. Ethical force (valour with restraint and right intent) is distinguished from mere aggression by the kind of acclaim it generates.
Vaiśaṃpāyana describes a moment when many kinds of beings raise a loud, sky-filling clamour while praising the feat just performed—understood in context as Arjuna’s celebrated act of prowess.
