Shloka 27
प्रगृह् च कुरुश्रेष्ठ साड़॒दं दक्षिणं भुजम् । उवाच धर्मभृत् पार्थ उभौ तौ केशवार्जुनौ,कुरुश्रेष्ठ! इसके बाद धर्मात्मा राजा युधिष्ठिरने बाजूबंदविभूषित श्रीकृष्णका दाहिना हाथ अपने हाथमें लेकर श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुन दोनोंसे कहा--
pragṛhya ca kuruśreṣṭha sāṅgadaṃ dakṣiṇaṃ bhujam | uvāca dharmabhṛt pārtha ubhau tau keśavārjunau ||
Ô le meilleur des Kuru ! Alors le roi juste, Yudhiṣṭhira, prenant dans sa main le bras droit de Śrī Kṛṣṇa, orné d’un bracelet, s’adressa à tous deux, Keśava et Arjuna.
संयज उवाच

Even amid war, rightful leadership is marked by restraint, reverence, and accountability to dharma. Yudhiṣṭhira’s gesture and address signal that decisions should be grounded in moral duty and guided by wise counsel.
Yudhiṣṭhira physically takes hold of Kṛṣṇa’s right arm (adorned with an armlet) and then speaks to both Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, setting up an important exchange before subsequent action in the battle narrative.
