द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय 128: दुर्योधनस्य परसेनाप्रवेशः
Duryodhana’s Incursion and the Tumult of Battle
यन्तारमब्रवीद् राजा भीम॑ प्रति नयस्व माम् । 'ऐसा करके ही मैं समझूँगा कि मैंने सात्यकिके प्रति समुचित कर्तव्यका पालन किया है।' मन-ही-मन ऐसा निश्चय करके धर्मपुत्र राजा युधिष्ठिरने अपने सारथिसे कहा--“मुझे भीमके पास ले चलो”

قال سانجيا: خاطب الملك (يودهيشثيرا) سائس مركبته: «خُذْني إلى بِهيما». وقد عزم في نفسه: «بهذا وحده أعلم أنني أديتُ واجبي اللائق تجاه ساتياكي»، فأصدر الملكُ المتمسّك بالدارما هذا الأمر.

Educational Q&A
Even in the chaos of battle, Yudhiṣṭhira measures his actions by dharma: he seeks to discharge a fitting obligation toward an ally (Sātyaki) and acts deliberately, not impulsively—showing that ethical responsibility and gratitude remain binding amid war.
Sanjaya reports that Yudhiṣṭhira, after deciding internally that he must act in a way that fulfills his duty toward Sātyaki, instructs his charioteer to take him to Bhīma—indicating an urgent move to coordinate with Bhīma in response to the unfolding battlefield situation.
