Having heard these words, the lord of the Kauravas, Duryodhana, became downcast at heart. Shantanu's son looked upon him and said: "Attend, O king, and set aside your anger. You have seen, Duryodhana, how the wise son of Pritha called forth a stream of cool water fragrant as nectar. There is no one else in this world who could accomplish such a thing. The weapon of Agni, of Varuna, of Soma, of Vayu, and of Vishnu, of Indra, the Pashupata, of Brahma, of Parameshthin, of Prajapati, of Dhatri, Tvashtri, and Savitri — all the divine astras — in the whole human world, only Dhananjaya knows them, or Krishna, the son of Devaki; no one else knows them at all. The Pandavas cannot, child, be conquered in battle by any means. With this great-souled one whose deeds are beyond human power, this valiant hero who adorns the battlefield and is skilled in war, you should make peace, child."

Bhishma does more than praise Arjuna: he offers Duryodhana visible proof. The miraculous water becomes an argument of dharma — a sign showing that the struggle against the Pandavas and Krishna is doomed.
