जनकस्य युद्धोपदेशः — Janaka’s Instruction on Steadfast Battle-Conduct
य एवं व्यूहते राजा स नित्यं जयति द्विष: | तस्मादेवं विधातव्यं नित्यमेव युधिष्ठिर
ya evaṁ vyūhate rājā sa nityaṁ jayati dviṣaḥ | tasmād evaṁ vidhātavyaṁ nityam eva yudhiṣṭhira ||
قال بهيشما: «إن الملك الذي يرتّب جنده على هذا النحو يَغلب أعداءه على الدوام. لذلك، يا يودهيشثيرا، عليك أن تُحسن التدبير دائماً على هذه الصورة.»

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma teaches that disciplined, well-planned organization of forces (vyūha) is a standing duty of kingship: consistent strategic arrangement leads to sustained success against enemies, so a ruler should habitually maintain such preparedness.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on rājadharma, Bhīṣma addresses Yudhiṣṭhira and concludes a point on military disposition: he states that a king who arrays his army properly wins regularly, and urges Yudhiṣṭhira to adopt the same practice.
