Yudhiṣṭhira–Śrutāyu encounter; Cekitāna–Gautama clash; Abhimanyu pressure; Arjuna’s redeployment
पुनर्युद्धाय समरे प्रययुर्भीमपार्षतौ । ततो युधिष्ठटिर: प्राह समाहूय स्वसैनिकान्
punar yuddhāya samare prayayur bhīmapārṣatau | tato yudhiṣṭhiraḥ prāha samāhūya svasainikān ||
Sañjaya dit : Bhīma et Pārṣata s’avancèrent de nouveau sur le champ de bataille, décidés à reprendre le combat. Alors Yudhiṣṭhira, ayant fait rassembler ses propres troupes, s’adressa à elles—marquant une réorganisation réfléchie, dictée par le devoir (dharma), plutôt qu’un simple emportement.

Educational Q&A
Even amid violence, action is framed by responsibility and command: warriors advance to fight, but the righteous king first gathers and instructs his forces, emphasizing disciplined, duty-oriented conduct rather than uncontrolled aggression.
Bhīma and Pārṣata (Dhṛṣṭadyumna) move forward again to re-engage in combat. Immediately after, Yudhiṣṭhira calls his own soldiers together and begins to address them, indicating a coordinated response in the ongoing battle.
