Educational Q&A
The verse links true strength with dharmic integrity: a warrior’s invincibility is grounded not only in martial prowess (mahāratha) but also in unwavering truthfulness and fidelity to vows (satyasaṃdha), complemented by mastery of knowledge (sarvaśāstra-pāraga).
Sañjaya is describing a formidable figure on the battlefield, emphasizing that ordinary humans cannot defeat him and that his excellence is so complete—both in arms and in learning—that even the gods together would find him hard to overcome.
