Bhīṣma’s Counsel on Reconciliation and Partition (भीष्मोपदेशः—संधि-राज्यविभागविचारः)
पाण्डवाश्वापि कुन्ती च धृष्टद्युम्नश्न पार्षत: । विविशोर्यत्र तत्रैव प्रतीक्षन्ते सम तावुभौ,पाँचों पाण्डव, कुन्तीदेवी तथा द्रुपदकुमार धृष्टद्युम्न--ये सब लोग जहाँ बैठे थे, वहीं उन दोनों (व्यास और द्रुपद)-की प्रतीक्षा करने लगे
pāṇḍavāś cāpi kuntī ca dhṛṣṭadyumnaś ca pārṣataḥ | viviśur yatra tatraiva pratīkṣante sma tāv ubhau ||
Vaiśampāyana said: The five Pāṇḍavas, Kuntī, and Dhṛṣṭadyumna—the son of Pārṣata (Drupada)—entered and sat just where they were; remaining there, they waited for those two. The scene underscores disciplined restraint and respect for elders and teachers: rather than acting impulsively, they hold their place and await the arrival of the two revered figures.
