Drauṇi’s Vow and the Description of the Nārāyaṇāstra
Devanagari script
त॑ दृष्टवा विरथं तत्र भ्रातरो5स्य महारथा: । अन्ववर्तन्त वेगेन महत्या सेनया सह,उसे रथहीन हुआ देख उसके अन्य महारथी भाई विशाल सेनाके साथ बड़े वेगसे उसकी सहायताके लिये आ पहुँचे
Transliteration
taṁ dṛṣṭvā virathaṁ tatra bhrātaro 'sya mahārathāḥ | anvavartanta vegena mahatyā senayā saha ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Seeing him there deprived of his chariot, his brothers—great chariot-warriors—rushed forward at speed, accompanied by a vast host, to support and protect him amid the press of battle. The scene underscores the battlefield ethic of standing by one’s own kin and commander when he is suddenly rendered vulnerable.
