विदुरं च महाबुद्धि युयुत्सुं चैव कौरवम् । इन्द्रसेनमुखांश्वैव भृत्यान् सूतांश्व॒ सर्वश:
viduraṃ ca mahābuddhi yuyutsuṃ caiva kauravam | indrasenamukhāṃś caiva bhṛtyān sūtāṃś ca sarvaśaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: Sie ließen auch Vidura von großer Einsicht rufen, Yuyutsu, den Kaurava, und ebenso alle Diener und Wagenlenker—angeführt von Indrasena—damit jeder, der benötigt wurde, für die ernsten Pflichten nach dem Krieg zugegen sei.

In the post-war crisis, wise counsel and orderly participation matter: the verse highlights gathering those with discernment (Vidura) and those responsible for practical duties (attendants and charioteers), implying that dharma is upheld through both ethical guidance and competent service.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that key persons—Vidura, Yuyutsu, and all household personnel including charioteers led by Indrasena—are called together, indicating preparations for solemn actions in the wake of the Kurukṣetra war.
