Shloka 23
कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५९
Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
आतुरो हि कृतो राजा संनिषेव्यश्व॒ भारत । यथैनमनुवर्तन्ते पज्चाला: सह पाण्डवै:,'भारत! राजा युधिष्ठिर आतुर एवं सेवाके योग्य कर दिये गये हैं; जैसा कि पाण्डवोंसहित पांचाल उनके पीछे-पीछे सेवाके लिये जा रहे हैं
āturo hi kṛto rājā saṃniṣevyaśva bhārata | yathainam anuvartante pañcālāḥ saha pāṇḍavaiḥ ||
Sañjaya dijo: «Oh Bhārata, el rey ha sido en verdad reducido a la aflicción y llevado a un estado en que debe ser atendido. Mira cómo los Pañcālas, junto con los Pāṇḍavas, lo siguen, avanzando en su escolta y servicio.»

Educational Q&A
Even amid war, dharma expresses itself through compassionate attendance and loyal support: when a leader is afflicted, the righteous response is not abandonment but service, protection, and solidarity.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that King Yudhiṣṭhira has been made grievously distressed (likely wounded or shaken) and is now in a condition requiring attendance; the Pāṇḍavas and their Pañcāla allies follow him closely, accompanying him in service and support.
