Shloka 103
प्रविश्य च यथान्यायं संगम्य च महारथै: । यथार्हमात्मन: कर्म रणे सात्वत दर्शय,सात्वत! इसमें प्रवेश करके यथायोग्य सब महारथियोंसे मिलकर युद्धमें अपने अनुरूप पराक्रम दिखाओ
praviśya ca yathānyāyaṃ saṅgamya ca mahārathaiḥ | yathārham ātmanaḥ karma raṇe sātvata darśaya, sātvata! |
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “Enter the fray in the proper manner; and, having duly joined with the great chariot-warriors, display in battle the valor and deeds that befit your own station and capacity, O Sātvata!”

Educational Q&A
Even in war, action should be governed by nyāya (proper rule and propriety): one should enter and engage in a disciplined, fitting manner, and perform deeds appropriate to one’s role and capability rather than acting rashly or unlawfully.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Kṛṣṇa (called Sātvata), urging him to enter the battle correctly, coordinate with the foremost warriors, and then demonstrate the level of martial action and courage that suits him in the ongoing conflict.
