युधिष्ठिरमुदी क्षन्तः सेहुर्दु:खमनुत्तमम् । अर्जुन, दोनों भाई नकुल-सहदेव, यशस्विनी द्रौपदी तथा सर्वश्रेष्ठ बलवान् महातेजस्वी भीमसेन भी राजा युधिष्ठिरकी ओर देखते हुए महान्-से-महान् दुःखको चुपचाप सहते रहे

Vaiśampāyana dit : Le regard fixé sur le roi Yudhiṣṭhira, ils endurèrent une affliction sans pareille. Arjuna, les deux frères Nakula et Sahadeva, l’illustre Draupadī, et Bhīmasena—le meilleur des hommes, puissant et rayonnant—portèrent en silence jusqu’à la plus grande des douleurs, ne regardant que vers Yudhiṣṭhira.

The verse highlights dharmic restraint: even when grief is overwhelming, the righteous response is steadiness, mutual support, and respect for the leader’s composure rather than uncontrolled outburst.
The Pandavas and Draupadī, watching Yudhiṣṭhira, silently bear an incomparable sorrow. Their attention remains fixed on him, indicating solidarity and the gravity of the crisis they are facing.
