Rājagṛhe Magadheśvarasya yuddhāhvānam — Arjunena saṃyamaḥ
The Rājagṛha Challenge and Arjuna’s Restraint
पूजां तत्र यथान्यायं प्रतिगृह्य धनंजय: । पुनरावृत्य कौन्तेयो दशार्णानगमत् तदा,उन सभी राज्योंमें यथोचित पूजा ग्रहण करके कुन्तीनन्दन अर्जुन पुनः लौटकर दशार्ण देशमें आये
pūjāṃ tatra yathānyāyaṃ pratigṛhya dhanaṃjayaḥ | punarāvṛtya kaunteyo daśārṇān agamat tadā ||
天胜者(Dhanaṃjaya,阿周那)——昆蒂之子——在诸国依礼受纳敬献与供奉之后,便折返而行,于其时前往达沙尔那(Daśārṇa)之地。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights yathānyāya—acting according to proper rule and custom. Even amid political or military undertakings, one should accept honors without arrogance and proceed with disciplined adherence to dharma and social protocol.
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that Arjuna, after receiving due ceremonial honors from the states he visited, turns back and goes on to the Daśārṇa region, continuing his journey connected with the wider Ashvamedha enterprise.
