Chapter 47: Krauñca-vyūha Deployment and Conch-Signals
Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
अथ तान् समभिप्रेक्ष्य युयुत्सुरिदमब्रवीत् । प्रीतात्मा धर्मराजानं कुन्तीपुत्रं युधिष्ठिरम्
atha tān samabhiprekṣya yuyutsur idam abravīt | prītātmā dharmarājānaṃ kuntīputraṃ yudhiṣṭhiram ||
ثم إن يُيُوتْسُو، وقد أمعن النظر في الباندافا، امتلأ قلبه سرورًا، فخاطب دهرماراجا يودهيشثيرا ابن كونتي بهذه الكلمات.

Educational Q&A
Even amid war, one may choose allegiance based on dharma rather than birth or faction. Yuyutsu’s pleased resolve and direct address to Dharmarāja highlight an ethical commitment: recognizing rightful conduct and aligning oneself with it.
Sañjaya reports that Yuyutsu looks toward the Pāṇḍavas and, with a glad heart, speaks to Yudhiṣṭhira (called Dharmarāja and Kuntī’s son). The verse functions as a transition into Yuyutsu’s forthcoming statement.
