Shloka 24
वैशम्पायन उवाच एवमुक्तस्तथेत्युक्त्वा पाण्डव: सत्यविक्रम: । भीष्मद्रोणौ नमस्कृत्य प्रातिष्ठत युधिछ्िर:
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: evam uktas tathety uktvā pāṇḍavaḥ satyavikramaḥ | bhīṣma-droṇau namaskṛtya prātiṣṭhata yudhiṣṭhiraḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: So angesprochen, erwiderte der Pāṇḍava Yudhiṣṭhira—dessen Tapferkeit in der Wahrheit gründete—: „So sei es.“ Dann verneigte er sich ehrerbietig vor Bhīṣma und Droṇa und brach von dort auf.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when circumstances are tense, one should respond to sound counsel with disciplined assent and maintain reverence toward elders and teachers; ethical conduct is shown through restraint, truthful resolve, and respectful action.
After being advised (contextually, by Vidura), Yudhiṣṭhira agrees—saying “So be it”—then formally salutes Bhīṣma and Droṇa and leaves, marking a courteous and dutiful departure.
