Adhyāya 16: Saṃśaptaka-vrata and the Diversion of Arjuna (द्रोणपर्व, अध्याय १६)
पृष्ठत: सर्वसैन्यानां मुदितो वै सकेशव:,इस प्रकार शत्रुओंको जीतकर सब सेनाओंके पीछे श्रीकृष्णसहित अर्जुन बड़ी प्रसन्नताके साथ अपने शिविरको गये
pṛṣṭhataḥ sarvasainyānāṃ mudito vai sa keśavaḥ |
Sañjaya dit : Keśava (Śrī Kṛṣṇa), placé derrière toutes les armées, était véritablement joyeux. Ainsi, après avoir vaincu les ennemis, Arjuna—accompagné de Kṛṣṇa—regagna son camp avec une grande satisfaction.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined fulfillment of duty in battle and the role of wise guidance (Kṛṣṇa with Arjuna): after achieving the objective, one returns to order and responsibility rather than being carried away by pride.
After defeating enemies, Arjuna—together with Kṛṣṇa—withdraws from the battlefield and goes back to the camp; Kṛṣṇa (Keśava) is described as pleased, situated behind the armies.
