Adhyāya 14: Śalya’s Missile-Pressure and the Pāṇḍava Convergence (शल्यस्य शरवर्षम्)
मानयित्वा मुहूर्त तु गुरुपुत्रं महाहवे । तदनन्तर उस महासमरमें दो घड़ीतक गुरुपुत्रका आदर करके अर्जुनने बड़े हर्ष और उत्साहके साथ गाण्डीव धनुषको खींचना आरम्भ किया
mānayitvā muhūrtaṃ tu guruputraṃ mahāhave | tadanantaram asmin mahāsamare ’rjunaḥ harṣotsāhasamanvitaḥ gāṇḍīvaṃ dhanuḥ ākarṣitum ārabdhavān |
三阇耶说道：在那场大战之中，阿周那先片刻间向师长之子致以应有的敬礼。随后，在那广阔而可怖的鏖战里，他怀着喜悦与重燃的斗志，开始拉开神弓“甘狄瓦”——表明即便身处战阵，他仍守持对可敬对手的礼敬，同时坚定无疑地回到刹帝利战士的职责之中。

Educational Q&A
Even in the heat of battle, dharma includes honoring worthy persons—such as a teacher’s lineage—while still performing one’s rightful duty. Respect and resolve are not opposites; they can coexist as ethical conduct in war.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna briefly pays respect to the ‘guruputra’ on the battlefield and then, filled with joy and vigor, begins to draw his bow Gāṇḍīva—preparing to engage decisively in the ongoing great combat.
