Shloka 27
Kṛṣṇa’s Departure, Auspicious Omens, and the Opening of the Uttaṅka Dialogue (कृष्णप्रयाण-निमित्त-उत्तङ्कसंवाद-प्रारम्भः)
भीमसेन च दुर्थर्ष माद्रीपुत्रो च पाण्डवौ । धृतराष्ट्रमुपासीनं युयुत्सुं चापराजितम्
bhīmasenaś ca durdharṣo mādrīputraś ca pāṇḍavau | dhṛtarāṣṭram upāsīnaṃ yuyutsuṃ cāparājitam ||
वैशम्पायन बोले—दुर्धर्ष भीमसेन और माद्रीपुत्र पाण्डव (नकुल/सहदेव) धृतराष्ट्र की सेवा में उपस्थित थे; और अपराजित-मन वाले युयुत्सु भी वहाँ विद्यमान था।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Victory does not cancel duty: the Pāṇḍavas continue to honor and attend the elder Dhṛtarāṣṭra, modeling restraint, humility, and the maintenance of social-ethical order after conflict.
Vaiśampāyana describes who is present and attending: Bhīma and another Pāṇḍava (identified as Mādrī’s son) sit in service to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, with Yuyutsu also there, emphasizing a courtly setting of attendance and reconciliation.
