चित्रसेनश्व॒ भीमश्षु सव्यसाची यमावपि । पृष्टवा कौशलमन्योन्यं रथेष्वेवावतस्थिरे,तत्पश्चात् गन्धर्वराज चित्रसेन, भीमसेन, अर्जुन और नकुल-सहदेव सब लोग परस्पर कुशल-समाचार पूछकर अपने रथोंमें ही बैठे रहे
citraseṇaś ca bhīmaś ca savyasācī yamāv api | pṛṣṭvā kauśalam anyonyaṁ ratheṣv evāvatasthire ||
বৈশম্পায়নে ক’লে— তাৰ পাছত গন্ধৰ্বৰাজ চিত্ৰসেন, ভীম, সব্যসাচী অৰ্জুন আৰু যমজ নকুল-সহদেৱে পৰস্পৰে কুশল সুধি নিজ নিজ ৰথতেই স্থিৰ হৈ থাকিল।

Educational Q&A
Even in potentially hostile or uncertain situations, dharmic conduct begins with self-restraint and proper civility—inquiring after one another’s welfare and maintaining composure before taking further steps.
Citraseṇa, Bhīma, Arjuna, and the twins Nakula–Sahadeva exchange greetings and ask about each other’s well-being, then remain seated in their chariots, marking a pause of formal courtesy before the next development.
