कुरुक्षेत्रे सेनानिवेशवृत्तान्तः — Dhṛtarāṣṭra Questions Saṃjaya on the Deployed Armies
सेनापतिपतिं चक्रे गुडाकेशं धनंजयम् । तदनन्तर उन्होंने निद्राविजयी वीर धनंजयको उन समस्त महामना वीर सेनापतियोंका भी अधिपति बना दिया
senāpatipatiṁ cakre guḍākeśaṁ dhanañjayam |
毗湿摩波耶那说道：其后，他们推举檀那阇耶——阿周那，号“古达克沙”（Guḍākeśa，征服睡眠者）——为统摄诸将之上的最高统帅。叙事由此彰显战争领导的法义原则：在危局之中，当将权柄归并于最有才能且最能自持的战士，使军纪、同心与正义之谋得以贯彻。

Educational Q&A
Effective and dharmic conduct in war requires unified command under a leader marked by competence and self-mastery; the epithet Guḍākeśa highlights inner discipline as a qualification for outer command.
After preceding arrangements, Arjuna (Dhanañjaya/Guḍākeśa) is appointed as the chief over the army’s commanders, placing overall military direction and responsibility in his hands.
