Shloka 34
ततो युधिष्छिर: प्रेक्ष्य भग्नं स््वबलमन्तिकात् । अभ्यनादयदव्यग्र: सहदेव॑ महाबलम्,तब युधिष्ठिरने पास ही अपनी सेनामें भगदड़ मची देख शान्तभावसे महाबली सहदेवको पुकारा
tato yudhiṣṭhiraḥ prekṣya bhagnaṁ svabalam antikāt | abhyanādayad avyagraḥ sahadevaṁ mahābalam ||
Sañjaya said: Then Yudhiṣṭhira, seeing his own army broken and in rout close at hand, remained unagitated and called out to the mighty Sahadeva.

Educational Q&A
Even amid defeat and confusion, a dharmic leader restrains agitation (avyagraḥ), assesses the situation clearly, and acts to restore order—placing duty to protect and guide above personal fear.
Yudhiṣṭhira sees his nearby forces breaking into disorder and, without panic, summons the powerful Sahadeva—implying an attempt to rally troops, stabilize the line, or execute a needed tactical response.
