Indrajit and Lakṣmaṇa: Escalation through Concealment
स तै: परिवृतो राजा तत्रैवोपविवेश ह | प्रविवेशा श्रमं कृष्णा यमाभ्यां सह भाविनी,उन ब्राह्मणोंसे घिरे हुए राजा युधिष्ठिर वहीं बैठ गये और भामिनी कृष्णा नकुल- सहदेवके साथ आश्रमके भीतर चली गयी
sa taiḥ parivṛto rājā tatraivopaviveśa ha | praviveśāśramaṃ kṛṣṇā yamābhyāṃ saha bhāvinī ||
Surrounded by those brāhmaṇas, King Yudhiṣṭhira sat down right there. Meanwhile, the noble-minded Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī), together with the twin brothers Nakula and Sahadeva, entered the hermitage.

Educational Q&A
Even in hardship (forest exile), dharma is upheld through disciplined behavior: the king receives and honors brāhmaṇas appropriately, while Draupadī and the twins proceed into the hermitage in an orderly, respectful manner—showing restraint, propriety, and reverence for ascetic spaces.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Yudhiṣṭhira, surrounded by brāhmaṇas, sits down where he is, while Draupadī (Kṛṣṇā), accompanied by Nakula and Sahadeva (the Yamau), goes inside the hermitage.
