द्रोणकर्णयोः निशि संप्रहारः — Night Engagement with Droṇa and Karṇa
"५५४ 407-#495 #॥ त॑ तथा विरथं दृष्टवा रथमारोप्य तं॑ तदा
taṁ tathā virathaṁ dṛṣṭvā ratham āropya taṁ tadā
Sañjaya dit : Le voyant ainsi privé de char, ils le soulevèrent alors et le placèrent sur un char. Dans le tumulte du combat, ce geste manifeste un devoir pressant : préserver la capacité d’un guerrier à poursuivre la lutte et ne pas abandonner un allié en détresse.

Educational Q&A
Even in war, one should not abandon a comrade in immediate vulnerability; restoring an ally’s means to act (here, placing him on a chariot) reflects responsibility and solidarity within one’s side.
Sañjaya narrates that someone is seen ‘viratha’ (without a chariot), and others promptly place him onto a chariot so he can rejoin the ongoing combat.
