...standing on the chariot, again Achyuta roared to Bhima. Understanding that [Krishna] had rejoiced, Arjuna spoke to Vasudeva, the mighty, O king, himself not overly joyful: "This excessive joy of yours is out of place now, O Madhusudana, when the gravest occasion for grief has arrived -- by the slaying of the son of Hidimba. And the armies have turned away, seeing Ghatotkacha slain, and we are greatly distressed by the fall of the son of Hidimba. For your reason must not be small, O Janardana."

Arjuna does not hide his bewilderment, but asks directly: why joy in an hour of grief? It is significant that he trusts -- "the reason must not be small": behind the wise one's inexplicable behavior he senses a hidden meaning. The verse teaches that trust in one's neighbor bids one seek a reasonable cause in his strange act rather than condemn at once; and an honest question asked in faith is better than silent condemnation -- for it opens the way to understanding.
