इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत उद्योगपर्वके अन्तर्गत सेनोट्ोगपर्वमें पुरोहितप्रस्थानविषयक छठा अध्याय पूरा हुआ,तमेव दिवसं चापि कौन्तेय: पाण्डुनन्दन: । आनर्तनगरीं रम्यां जगामाशु धनंजय:
tameva divasaṃ cāpi kaunteyaḥ pāṇḍunandanaḥ | ānartanagarīṃ ramyāṃ jagāmāśu dhanañjayaḥ ||
Ce même jour, le fils de Kuntī—le bien-aimé fils de Pāṇḍu, Dhanañjaya (Arjuna)—partit sans tarder et atteignit la délicieuse cité d’Ānarta. Le récit signale une marche résolue face à la guerre imminente : Arjuna n’hésite pas, révélant l’urgence, la détermination et la nécessité dharmique de rechercher alliances et juste conseil avant la bataille.

Educational Q&A
Even before open conflict, dharma requires timely, deliberate action—securing support, counsel, and rightful means. Arjuna’s swift departure reflects disciplined resolve and responsible preparation rather than impulsive aggression.
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that on that very day Arjuna (Dhanañjaya), son of Kuntī and Pāṇḍu, quickly goes to the pleasant city of Ānarta—traditionally associated with the Dvārakā region—indicating a mission connected with alliance and strategy in the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war developments.
