Ādi Parva, Adhyāya 193 — Hastināpura Mantra: Duryodhana’s Proposals to Divide the Pāṇḍavas
वैशम्पायन उवाच ततः प्रयाता: कुरुपुड्रवास्ते पुरोहितं तं परियाप्य सर्वे | आस्थाय यानानि महान्ति तानि कुन्ती च कृष्णा च सहैकयाने
vaiśampāyana uvāca tataḥ prayātāḥ kurupuṇḍravās te purohitaṃ taṃ pariyāpya sarve | āsthāya yānāni mahānti tāni kuntī ca kṛṣṇā ca sahaikayāne ||
বৈশম্পায়নে ক’লে—তাৰ পাছত কুৰুশ্ৰেষ্ঠ সেই পাণ্ডৱসকলে সকলোৱে সেই পুৰোহিতক প্ৰণাম কৰি বিদায় লৈ, সেই মহান যানসমূহত আৰোহণ কৰি যাত্ৰা কৰিলে। সেই সময়ত কুন্তী আৰু কৃষ্ণা একেটা বাহনত একেলগে উপবিষ্ট আছিল।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even in moments of movement and political urgency, dharmic order is maintained: the heroes first honor and formally take leave of the purohita, reflecting reverence for sacred counsel and disciplined social conduct.
The Pāṇḍavas depart after bidding farewell to their priest, mount their large conveyances, and proceed toward their destination; Kuntī and Draupadī are specifically noted as traveling together in a single vehicle.
