Adhyāya 33: Rauhiṇeya (Balarāma) is welcomed and takes his seat to witness the gadā-engagement
तस्य तदू वचन श्रुत्वा पाण्डवा: सहसृज्जया: । सर्वे सम्पूजयामासुस्तद्वव्ो विजिगीषव:,दुर्योधनका यह वचन सुनकर विजयकी इच्छा रखनेवाले समस्त पाण्डवों और सूंजयोंने भी उसकी बड़ी सराहना की
tasya tad u vacanaṁ śrutvā pāṇḍavāḥ saha sṛñjayāḥ | sarve sampūjayāmāsus tad vavo vijigīṣavaḥ ||
Als sie seine Worte vernahmen, ehrten und priesen die Pāṇḍavas zusammen mit den Sṛñjayas—alle auf Sieg bedacht—jene Aussage einmütig und erkannten ihre Kraft und Absicht inmitten der moralischen Spannung des Krieges und der Grenzen des Dharma an.

After hearing a particular statement, the Pāṇḍavas along with their Sṛñjaya allies respond in unison by honoring and praising it, showing shared intent to win and reinforcing solidarity.
