Vaiśampāyana dit : Bhīmasena et les deux jumeaux (Nakula et Sahadeva) montèrent sur un même char. D’un autre char partirent Kṛpa, Yuyutsu et Saṃjaya le cocher—celui qui brûle les ennemis—se rangeant pour la marche à venir selon leur devoir et leur détermination.

Educational Q&A
Even amid martial or political movement, the epic highlights disciplined organization and adherence to one’s chosen duty (svadharma): allies take their assigned places, and loyalty (as in Yuyutsu’s choice) is expressed through action rather than mere words.
The passage reports logistical arrangement: Bhīma together with the twins Nakula and Sahadeva ride in one chariot, while Kṛpa, Yuyutsu, and Saṃjaya (as charioteer) proceed in another—indicating coordinated departure and readiness for the next event.
