युयुत्सुर्विदुरश्वैव संजयश्व विशाम्पते । सुधर्मा चैव धौम्यश्न यथास्वान् जग्मुरालयान्,प्रजानाथ! युयुत्सु, विदुर, संजय, सुधर्मा और धौम्य मुनि भी अपने-अपने पहलेके ही घरोंमें गये
Vaiśampāyana uvāca | yuyutsur viduraś caiva sañjayaś ca viśāmpate | sudharmā caiva dhaumyaś ca yathāsvān jagmur ālayān prajānātha ||
Vaiśampāyana said: O lord of the people, Yuyutsu, Vidura, and Sañjaya, and also Sudharmā and the sage Dhaumya, each departed to his own dwelling—returning to their respective homes as before. The verse marks a calm dispersal after counsel and duty were discharged, suggesting order and propriety restored through rightful conduct.

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the return to proper order after duties of counsel and participation are fulfilled: individuals resume their rightful places and responsibilities, reflecting dharma as stability, propriety, and measured conduct rather than continued agitation.
After the relevant discussion/events in this section of Śānti Parva, key figures—Yuyutsu, Vidura, Sañjaya, Sudharmā, and the sage Dhaumya—take leave and go back to their respective homes, signaling closure of the immediate gathering.
