Udyoga Parva Adhyāya 58 — Saṃjaya’s Audience and Kṛṣṇa’s Deterrent Counsel (संजय-प्रवेशः कृष्णवाक्यं च)
बलं॑ वीर्य च तेजश्न शीघ्रता लघुहस्तता । अविषादश्न धैर्य च पार्थन्नान्यत्र विद्यते,“बल, पराक्रम, तेज, शीघ्रकारिता, हाथोंकी फुर्ती, विषादहीनता तथा धैर्य--ये सभी सदगुण कुन्तीपुत्र अर्जुनके सिवा (एक साथ) दूसरे किसी पुरुषमें नहीं हैं'
balaṁ vīryaṁ ca tejaś ca śīghratā laghu-hastatā | aviṣādaś ca dhairyaṁ ca pārthān nānyatra vidyate ||
风神宣言道：“力量、勇武、光辉、行事迅捷、手法敏捷、不陷沮丧、以及坚忍不拔的胆魄——这些德性汇聚一身，只在帕尔塔·阿周那身上具足，别无他人可比。”

Educational Q&A
Excellence is not merely power or speed; it is a composite of capability (bala, vīrya, tejas, skill) and inner stability (aviṣāda, dhairya). The verse presents Arjuna as the model where martial competence is anchored in emotional steadiness and courage.
In Udyoga Parva, as the great conflict approaches, Vāyudeva speaks in praise of Arjuna, asserting that a rare cluster of heroic qualities is uniquely present in him. The speech functions to affirm Arjuna’s exceptional fitness for the impending struggle and to inspire confidence in his role.
