तेन संचोद्यमानस्तु याहि याहीति सारथि: । प्रत्युवाच ततो राजन्नभिमन्युमिदं वच:,राजन्! “चलो, चलो” ऐसा कहकर अभिमन्युके बारंबार प्रेरित करनेपर सारथिने उससे इस प्रकार कहा--
tena saṃcodyamānas tu yāhi yāhīti sārathiḥ | pratyuvāca tato rājann abhimanyum idaṃ vacaḥ ||
Berulang kali didorong dengan seruan “Majulah, majulah!”, wahai Raja, sais kereta itu lalu menjawab Abhimanyu dengan kata-kata ini.

Educational Q&A
Even in the urgency of war, action is framed through counsel and role-based duty: the warrior urges advance, while the charioteer responds with guidance, reflecting disciplined conduct rather than impulsive motion.
Abhimanyu repeatedly presses his charioteer to drive forward (“Go, go!”). The charioteer then answers him—introducing a spoken response that will shape their immediate tactical and ethical choices in the battle scene.
