Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
एतच्छुत्वा महाराज गौतमस्य विशाम्पते | अनुमान्य कृपं राजा प्रययौ येन मद्रराट्,महाराज! प्रजानाथ! कृपाचार्यकी यह बात सुनकर राजा युधिष्ठिर उनकी अनुमति ले जहाँ मद्रराज शल्य थे, उस ओर चले गये
etac chrutvā mahārāja gautamasya viśāmpate | anumānya kṛpaṃ rājā prayayau yena madrarāṭ ||
Sañjaya sprach: „O großer König, Herr der Menschen, nachdem König Yudhiṣṭhira diese Worte Gautamas vernommen hatte und sich ehrerbietig Kṛpas Zustimmung erbeten hatte, brach er zu dem Ort auf, wo sich Śalya, der König von Madra, befand.“

Educational Q&A
Even amid war, proper conduct is maintained: Yudhiṣṭhira proceeds only after respectfully obtaining Kṛpa’s assent, reflecting dharma through deference to elders and disciplined decision-making.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that, after hearing Gautama’s words, Yudhiṣṭhira takes leave of Kṛpa and goes toward Śalya, the king of Madra, indicating a move to consult or engage with Śalya in the unfolding war context.
