Shloka 66
Arjuna’s Himalayan Departure and the Commencement of Severe Tapas
Janamejaya’s Inquiry; Sages Approach Śiva
तच्च माल्यं तदा पार्थ: किरातशिरसि स्थितम् | अपश्यत् पाण्डवश्रेष्ठो हर्षेण प्रकृतिं गत:,कुन्तीकुमारने जो माला पार्थिव शिवपर चढ़ायी थी, वह उन्हें किरातके मस्तकपर पड़ी दिखायी दी। यह देखकर पाण्डवश्रेष्ठ अर्जुन हर्षसे उललसित हो अपने आपेमें आ गये
tac ca mālyaṁ tadā pārthaḥ kirātaśirasi sthitam | apaśyat pāṇḍavaśreṣṭho harṣeṇa prakṛtiṁ gataḥ ||
于是，帕尔塔（阿周那）看见那条先前献给湿婆的花鬘，竟安放在基罗多猎人的头上。见此情景，般度诸子之最者心生大喜，复得镇定，明白猎人伪装之下自有神圣的征兆。

Educational Q&A
A sincere offering and steadfast effort are met with divine grace; when a clear sign of the divine appears, one should abandon pride and agitation, regain inner balance, and respond with reverence and discernment.
Arjuna notices that the garland he had offered to Śiva is now on the Kirāta’s head, revealing that the hunter is no ordinary man but a divine presence; this realization fills him with joy and restores his composure.
