The verse highlights communal affirmation of courageous, dharma-aligned resolve: the Pāṇḍavas publicly endorse what they perceive as rightful action, even within the ethically weighty setting of war.

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Pāṇḍavas, with Bhīma at their head, shout “sādhu, sādhu” and roar so powerfully that the earth seems to echo—an audible surge of morale and approval on the battlefield.
