Shloka 22
ये चैवान्ये कुरुमुख्या युवान: पुत्रा: पौत्रा भ्रातरश्वैव ये नः । यं यमेषां मन्यसे येन योग्यं तत् तत् प्रोच्यानामयं सूत वाच्या:,संजय! इनके सिवा और भी जो कुरुकुलके प्रधान नवयुवक हैं, जो हमारे पुत्र, पौत्र और भाई लगते हैं, इनमेंसे जिस-जिसको तुम जिस व्यवहारके योग्य समझो, उससे वैसी ही बात कहकर उन सबसे बताना कि पाण्डवलोग स्वस्थ और सानन्द हैं
ye caivānye kurumukhyā yuvānaḥ putrāḥ pautrā bhrātaraś caiva ye naḥ | yaṃ yam eṣāṃ manyase yena yogyaṃ tat tat procya nāmayaṃ sūta vācyāḥ ||
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “And those other foremost youths of the Kuru line as well—who are our sons, grandsons, and brothers—whomever among them you judge fit for a particular manner of address, speak to each accordingly. O Sūta, convey to them all that the Pāṇḍavas are well and in good spirits.”

Educational Q&A
Appropriate speech (yathā-yogya) is an ethical duty: even amid political tension, one should address each person according to relationship and propriety, and communicate goodwill and well-being rather than provocation.
Yudhiṣṭhira instructs the messenger to inform the leading young Kurus—who are also close relatives of the Pāṇḍavas—each in a manner suited to him, and to convey that the Pāṇḍavas are safe and content, maintaining a diplomatic and familial tone.
