That speech of his, the great-souled one's, the gods and the rishis, and all the noble-hearted armies, delighted, honored. Having honored that gentle word, all the armies, O Bharata, slept a while, O king, weary, O bull among the Bharatas. And your army, O Bharata, having gained rest and comfort, honored the hero Arjuna: ‘In you are the Vedas and the weapons; in you are wisdom and valor; in you is dharma, O mighty-armed one, and mercy toward all beings, O sinless one.’

Even the enemy army honors Arjuna for his merciful call: ‘in you is dharma and mercy toward all beings.’ It is significant that praise is offered by enemies — the highest recognition of nobility. The verse teaches that true virtue earns respect even from an adversary; and one who unites valor with compassion is honored by all — for mercy toward an enemy is the crown of a warrior's honor, and it shines brighter than any victory.
