सैन्यसंनिवेशः (Sainyasaṃniveśaḥ) — Deployment, Omens, and Yuddha-Dharma Conventions

तेषां युधिष्ठिरो राजा सर्वेषां पुरुषर्षभ । व्यादिदेश सवाह्यानां भक्ष्यभोज्यमनुत्तमम्‌,नरश्रेष्ठ! राजा युधिष्ठिरने सेना और सवारियों-सहित उन सबके लिये उत्तमोत्तम भोजन प्रस्तुत करनेका आदेश दे दिया था

teṣāṃ yudhiṣṭhiro rājā sarveṣāṃ puruṣarṣabha | vyādideśa savāhyānāṃ bhakṣyabhojyam anuttamam ||

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: King Yudhiṣṭhira, foremost among men, ordered that excellent food and provisions be served for all of them, including their mounts and attendants. The scene underscores royal duty expressed as hospitality and care—even amid the gathering momentum toward war—showing that dharma includes responsible provision for guests, dependents, and animals alike.
