तथेत्युक्त:ः केशवस्तु पार्थेन यदुपुज्भव: । पर्यावर्तयदव्यग्रो रथं॑ रथवरस्य तम्
tathety uktaḥ keśavas tu pārthena yadupūjabhavaḥ | paryāvartayad avyagro rathaṁ rathavarasya tam ||
Sañjaya said: Thus addressed by Pārtha, Keśava—the glory of the Yadu line—accepted the command with assent. Unperturbed and composed, he turned back that chariot of the foremost of chariot-warriors, directing it toward Yudhiṣṭhira’s camp.

Educational Q&A
Even in the chaos of battle, right conduct is shown through disciplined responsiveness and inner steadiness: Kṛṣṇa accepts Arjuna’s instruction without agitation and acts with calm control, modeling ethical leadership and self-mastery.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna addresses Kṛṣṇa; Kṛṣṇa assents (‘tathā’) and, remaining composed, turns Arjuna’s chariot back toward Yudhiṣṭhira’s camp.
